An ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that measures the distance to an object using

ultrasonic sound waves. An ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send and receive
ultrasonic pulses that relay back information about an object’s proximity. High-
frequency sound waves reflect across boundaries to produce distinct echo patterns.

Figure no 2: Ultrasonic sensor

An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that measures the distance of a target

object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves, and converts the reflected sound into an
electrical signal. Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e.
the sound that humans can hear). Ultrasonic sensors have two main components: the
transmitter (which emits the sound using piezoelectric crystals) and the receiver
(which encounters the sound after it has travelled to and from the target). In order to
calculate the distance between the sensor and the object, the sensor measures the time
it takes between the emission of the sound by the transmitter to its contact with the
receiver. The formula for this calculation is D = ½ T x C (where D is the distance, T is
the time, and C is the speed of sound ~ 343 meters/second). For example, if a scientist
set up an ultrasonic sensor aimed at a box and it took 0.025 seconds for the sound to
bounce back, the distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the box would be:
D = 0.5 x 0.025 x 343

module is the pull-up resistor and a power-on LED. DHT11 is a relative humidity sensor.
To measure the surrounding air this sensor uses a thermistor and a capacitive humidity
sensor.

Figure no 3: Dth11 sensor

3.3.2.3 IR sensor

IR sensor is an electronic device, that emits the light in order to sense some object of the
surroundings. An IR sensor can measure the heat of an object as well as detects the
motion. Usually, in the infrared spectrum, all the objects radiate some form of thermal
radiation. These types of radiations are invisible to our eyes, but infrared sensor can
detect these radiations.

Figure no 4: IR sensor

40
The emitter is simply an IR LED (Light Emitting Diode) and the detector is simply an IR
photodiode. Photodiode is sensitive to IR light of the same wavelength which is emitted
by the IR LED. When IR light falls on the photodiode, the resistances and the output
voltages will change in proportion to the magnitude of the IR light received.

There are five basic elements used in a typical infrared detection system: an infrared
source, a transmission medium, optical component, infrared detectors or receivers and
signal processing. Infrared lasers and Infrared LED’s of specific wavelength used as
infrared sources.
