Infrared detector

An infrared detector is a special tool that helps people see things that they can't see with their eyes. Normally, we see things with the help of visible light. But there are things that give off a type of light that we can't see, and this light is called infrared light.

Infrared light is produced by things that are warm or hot, like the sun, a person's body, or a light bulb that has been on for a while. With an infrared detector, we can detect this invisible light and turn it into a visible image that we can understand.

Think of it like a magic camera that takes pictures of things that are too hot or too cool for us to see on our own. It helps scientists, engineers, firefighters, and even doctors better understand the world around them and make decisions based on what they can see with the help of an infrared detector.
