Radiation detectors can sense changes in temperature caused by a fire. When objects burn, they emit heat that can be picked up by sensors in the radiation detector. This increase in temperature triggers the alarm on the detector, alerting users to the presence of a fire.

Which of you senses can detect radiation?

The sense of sight can detect some forms of radiation through special equipment like Geiger counters or dosimeters. However, our other senses cannot directly detect radiation as it is not something we can see, hear, smell, or taste.


How do you watch weather from space?

There are weather sattellites that orbit the Earth that can detect reflected radiation, emitted radiation, or radiation reflected only by water vapour as well as satellites that emit microwave radiation to detect the clouds or precipitation.


What are the two devices that are used to detect nuclear radiation?

The two devices used to detect nuclear radiation are Geiger-Muller counters and scintillation detectors. Geiger-Muller counters measure ionizing radiation levels, while scintillation detectors use crystals to detect radiation and convert it into light pulses for measurement.
