A detector only signals the presence.

A sensor allows both signaling the presence and intensity of stimuli.

What pulls the refrigerant to the sensor in a halide leak detector?

The refrigerant itself acts as the medium that carries the gas to the sensor in a halide leak detector. When the refrigerant comes into contact with the halide gas, it picks up traces of the gas and carries them to the sensor for detection.


What is difference between DAD and PDA Detector?

A DAD (diode array detector) uses an array of diodes to measure absorbance at multiple wavelengths simultaneously, providing spectral information. A PDA (photodiode array detector) is a type of DAD that specifically uses photodiodes for detection. Both detectors are commonly used in chromatography to detect and quantify analytes in a sample.


What is the difference between range and sensitivity?

Sensitivity describes the smallest change an instrument can detect. Range describes the largest change an instrument can detect.


What happend when a convection current detector came near a heat source?

When a convection current detector comes near a heat source, it will detect the movement of air or fluid caused by the temperature difference. This movement creates a convection current around the heat source, which the detector can measure to indicate the presence and intensity of the heat source.


What are the sensors in the washing machine?

Common sensors in a washing machine include water level sensor to detect water levels, temperature sensor to monitor water temperature, and load sensor to determine the weight of the laundry. Some models may also have sensors for measuring motor speed or detecting unbalanced loads.

What is the difference between radiation monitors and radiation detector?

Radiation monitors continuously measure and display radiation levels in a given area, providing real-time data. Radiation detectors, on the other hand, are devices that detect the presence of radiation but may not provide constant monitoring or data output. detectors are used to locate sources of radiation.
