What are Sensors?
Sensors are the devices that can detect and response to changes in the environment. These changes can be in form of light, temperature, motion, moisture or any other physical property. The sensor converts these physical changes into signal that can be measured. Sensors play an important role in IoT which will make an ecosystem for collecting, analyzing, and processing data about a specific environment so that it can be monitored, managed, and controlled more easily and efficiently. Sensors bridge the gap between the physical world and the logical world.
Transducer : It converts the signal from one physical form to another physical form. it is also called energy converter. For example, microphone converts sound to electrical signal . It is based on the principle of conservation of energy.
Types Of Sensors
A Sensor is a characteristic of any device or material to detect the presence of a particular physical quantity. The output of the sensor is a signal, which is converted to human readable form. It performs some function of input by sensing or feeling the physical changes in the characteristics of a system in response to stimuli.
