An infrared beam is often used on a security alarm. When the beam is broken, an alarm sounds. The beam is invisible because infrared is electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than the ones with visible light.

What is an ir detector?
In IR (InfraRed) detector is a circuit that receives an infrared input, either in an alarm or as a heat sensing device. In an alarm circuit, using an infrared beam rather than a laser has both advantages and disadvantages. Passive heat sensors rely on a general increase in temperature to identify a likely source, e.g. an animal, person, or vehicle engine.
Different between led infrared led?
Both are light emitting diodes, but an infrared led emits infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the naked eye, humans can't see infrared light but many cameras can. Infrared leds are used in remote controls and many other applications.
Are the infrared sensors dangerous?
no
What is Infrared reciver tsop 1738?
it is used for reciving the infrared signal of frequency 38khz from a remote location at distance may be 10 m.
When an antenna has a gain of 44dB then assuming that the main beam of the antenna is circular in cross-section the beam width will be?
2.44560
What does it mean when you say an infrared beam is modulated?
A small beam of light
Radiation in this region is used as a detection beam across doorways and windows?
infra-red. harmless. same as the beam from your remote control.
The helium neon laser is used for pdt as an aiming beam for infrared lasers?
yes
Can you break a infrared beam with another infrared beam or another light source?
In general, no. You may be able to exploit non-linear properties of the medium through which light is shining, but you cannot stop light using just other light.
What has more electromagnetic energy infrared radiation or x-rays?
Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam. Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.
Is it true that ultraviolet light carries more energy than infrad radiation?
im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.
What type of biometric device uses an infrared beam to scan the color pattern surrounding the pupil of the eye?
retinal scan
This type of biometric device uses an infrared beam to scan the color pattern surrounding the pupil of the eye?
Retinal scan
What type biometric device uses an infrared beam to scan the color pattern surrounding the pupil of the eye?
retinal scan
What is a PEQ box on an M4 M16?
The PEQ-2 and PEQ-4 are infrared illumination and aiming devices, to be used in conjunction with night vision goggles. They have two infrared beams, which aren't visible to the naked one. One is a narrower beam, intended to indicate point of aim, and the other is a much broader beam, intended for illumination.
What are infrared rays?
Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength longer than the wavelength of visible 'red' light [or you could say they have a lower frequency than red light]. Infrared 'light' is used in TV remote controls to transmit information to an infrared receiver on the TV, and also in security systems to create an invisible 'light beam' that when broken, will send a signal back to the system.
Ir cable connector?
IR= Infrared Receiver/emiter= a technology used for wireless connection, so there is no cable for it because it uses infrared light usually invisible to the naked eye like your tv remote controller(your emiter) when you change channels you do not see the beam shooting in to your tv(your tv have the IR or Infrared Receiver).
