Geiger Counter, named after Hans Geiger, who developed the device in 1908.
We detect electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies that we call "visible light" with our eyes. We can feel a broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we call "heat". (There are some overlaps.) We can build tools that detect ANY frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and display that in any format we select.
The answer depends on what "IT" is and what sort of radiation it is meant to detect!
We detect infrared radiation as heat. This form of radiation is emitted by objects due to their temperature, and our skin can sense it as warmth.
Radiation
No
It is used to measure radiation and is commonly used to detect objects that produce nuclear radiation.
Radiological survey instruments are devices used to measure and detect levels of radiation in the environment. They are essential tools for monitoring radiation exposure, identifying sources of radiation, and ensuring safety in areas where radioactive materials are present. These instruments help in determining the radiation dose rate and contamination levels in a given area.
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.
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.
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.
Your eyes can detect visible light, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that falls within a specific range of wavelengths. This is why your eyes are sensitive to colors and brightness levels in the environment.
