IR Proximity Sensor Working Principle:
IR proximity sensors are devices that use invisible light to sense things. They have a part that sends out light and a part that receives light. When something comes close to them, it bounces light back to the receiver. The infrared sensor looks at the reflected light to see if there’s an object nearby and how far it is. If it detects something, it sends a signal to indicate it’s active. This signal can trigger actions like sound alerts, moving machine parts, or altering a robot’s path.
