Why do you see a white spot on the camera-display when you make a photo of a remote-control?

Because remote controls use infra red light to communicate with the TV, stereo or what ever the remote is for. Infra red is a type of light we cannot see with our eyes, but cameras and video cameras turn infra red into visible light.

How do night vision works?

The night vision of domestic video cameras work by infra red. All video cameras, whether using CCD or vidicon tubes, are sensitive to the invisible spectrum of infra red. This feature is used on domestic cameras by using a high power, infra red emitting LED, on the front of the camera, to act as a floodlight. No one can see it, but the camera can. When switching it on, it also increases the sensitivity of the CCD and as a result switches to black and white mode. The infra red floodlight, lights up the subject, at close range and reflects back for the camera to see. The infra red capabilities of a digital camera can be checked yourself. Look at the front of an infra red remote control and push a button. You won't see anything. Now use your digital camera or phone camera. Point the remote control at the camera and press a button. You will now see the infra red LED on the remote flash white!


What type of waves are used in night vision?

Infra red radiation is the best. Usually living bodies would emit IR radiations which could be seen through IR spectroscope or telescope. Though IR are not visible to our eyes those can be recorded on suitable films.

What is the tiny bulb on a remote remote control that sends information to a TV called?

The "bulb" is an infra-red light emitting diode, normally abbreviated to infra-red LED or IR-LED. It sends a stream of light pulses carrying information to the receiver or sensor on a television. Although it uses light, it is not a part of the spectrum that we can see, so we do not see it operating.


Are you able to see an object when it emits infrared radiation?

No, humans cannot see infrared radiation with the naked eye as it is outside of the visible spectrum. However, special cameras and sensors can detect infrared radiation and convert it into images that are visible to us.
