Sensors and Transducers Quiz

What is the working principle of ultrasonic sensors?

• They emit sound waves and measure the time it takes for them to return.

• They detect infrared radiation.

• They use light to measure distances.

• They rely on heat changes to detect objects.

What are the advantages of ultrasonic sensors?

• Non-contact measurement and versatility.

• High cost and limited range.

• Only suitable for smooth surfaces.

• Requires physical contact with objects.

What is the formula for calculating distance using ultrasonic sensors?

• Distance = Speed * Time

• Distance = Time / Speed

• Distance = Speed + Time

• Distance = Speed - Time

What is the primary function of an IR sensor?

• To detect infrared radiation.

• To measure distances using sound.

• To convert light into electrical signals.

• To emit ultrasonic waves.
