Detecting light refers to the ability of a device or sensor to perceive and measure the presence and intensity of visible or invisible electromagnetic radiation within the electromagnetic spectrum. This can be achieved using various technologies such as photodiodes, phototransistors, or photodetectors, which convert light into electrical signals. The detection of light is crucial in applications such as Photography, optical communication, and automation.
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
Humans cannot detect infrared light because our eyes are only sensitive to a limited range of wavelengths, known as visible light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths than visible light, making it undetectable to our eyes. Specialized equipment, such as infrared cameras, is needed to detect and visualize infrared light.
Humans cannot detect electromagnetic waves outside of the visible light spectrum, such as ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Additionally, humans cannot directly detect gamma rays and X-rays.
The range of a motion sensor light can vary, but most are designed to detect motion within a range of 10-30 feet. It's best to check the specifications of the specific light you are using to determine its range.
Yes, a black light can detect bodily fluids such as semen due to its ability to fluoresce under UV light. Semen contains proteins that will glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, making it visible even in small amounts.
The light that our eyes can detect is known as visible light.
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
Yes, some bugs can detect infrared light.
eyes
this depends on the situation. normally all one would need is a thermal sensor in order to detect light
Electroretinography (ERG) is an eye test used to detect abnormal function of the retina (the light-detecting portion of the eye).
Humans cannot detect infrared light because our eyes are only sensitive to a limited range of wavelengths, known as visible light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths than visible light, making it undetectable to our eyes. Specialized equipment, such as infrared cameras, is needed to detect and visualize infrared light.
sex
yes
With a ultraviolet light detector.
Compound eyes detect motion, and simple eyes detect light. or The compound eyes are used to "see". The simple eyes are used to detect light intensity.
If you mean photoreceptors, then they are responsible for detecting light and, therefore, enable us to see. photoreceptors are arranged in certain ways to help us recognize different objects. Some photoreceptors are activated (and thereby sends signals to the brain) when they detect light, while others are activated when they do not detect light. The more light (or darkness) each cell detects, the more active they become.
