What is the range do highway radiation detectors could they detect radiation on closeby road?
Brownlarry
That depends on certain factors:
i.e. what type of detector(s) are being used
this helps to determine the distance that the detector will 'reach' and at what speeds will the detector be able to 'measure'. (10mph. 20mph etc etc)
A better and more correct word to use here is measure instead of detect because this is what a radiological monitoring system does in reality. It measures 'energy'.
Lastly, most systems fail all tests of measurement on a highway/freeway .............except ours that is! Hope this helps............

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be sensed without technology?
We have detectors on our bodies to detect electromagnetic radiation that we refer to as 'light',and also radiation in the far infrared that we refer to as 'heat'.A lot of people think we're also able to detect EM radiation in other bands, but scientific experimentationdoesn't support that.Yet ? ~ ~ oooweeeooo ~ ~ ~ ~
What form of radiation can your eyes detect?
Our eyes can detect radiation of wavelength ranging from 4000 Angstrom to 8000 Angstrom.
What brand of motion detectors have the the greatest range?
There are many levels of long range motion detectors, personal use and commercial use. Some motion detectors can detect movement up to 8-10 miles away. Some good brands for long range motion detectors are Honeywell and KNX.
What are the instruments used in radioactive isotopes?
Smoke detectors, the older ones, used radiation to detect the smoke. Soil density testers use radiation. A lot of medical instruments use it--X-ray machines and radiation machines for cancer treatment.
A Geiger counter can be used to detect what in a mineral?
Radiation
What is the difference between laser detectors and radar detectors?
Laser detectors detect laser speed devices and Radar detectors detect radar speed devices.Unfortunately it's usually too late when they detect Lasers.
What tools can detect radiation?
Geiger Counter, named after Hans Geiger, who developed the device in 1908.

What instrument is used to detect infrared radiation?
Instruments for detecting infrared radiation include heat-sensitive devices such as thermocouple detectors, bolometers, photovoltaic cells, and photoconductors.Pranay karnatak
Are infrared gas detectors the best way to detect gas leaks?
Yes. Infrared are currently considered to be the best option to detect gas leaks. They use the absorption of infrared radiation at certain wavelengths to detect dangerous levels of toxic and combustible gases.
What do Photoelectric detectors detect?
Photoelectric detectors are more sensitive to slow, smoldering fires
Can smoke detectors detect smoke in the ciling?
No
What are facts about metal detectors?
they detect metal
Why were lie detectors made?
To detect when people lie.
Can metal detectors detect mobile phones in a jacket?
yes
Can metal detectors detect objects in body cavities?
they mite
What are smoke detectors?
Smoke detectors are devices that detect smoke. They are used as warning devices in houses to warn people of fire.
