Where are light sensors used?

Light sensors are used in a variety of applications, including automatic lighting controls in buildings, photography, photovoltaic systems to optimize energy production, and in electronic devices like smartphones to adjust screen brightness based on ambient light levels.


Why different sensors give different readings at same temperature?

Different sensors may give different readings at the same temperature due to variations in calibration, accuracy, response time, and design. Factors such as quality of materials, manufacturing processes, and environmental conditions can all contribute to discrepancies in sensor readings. Calibration drift, age, and operating conditions can also affect the accuracy of sensor readings.


Why sensors show different readings at same temperature?

Sensors can show different readings at the same temperature due to differences in calibration, accuracy, and environmental factors such as humidity or interference. Variations in sensor design, manufacturing, and quality control can also impact their readings. It is important to consider these factors when comparing sensor data.
