4. Which type of sensor is used in the Automatic Streetlight project to detect light levels?

(i) IR Sensor (ii) PIR Sensor

(iii) Photoresistor (iv) Ultrasonic Sensor

5. Choose the correct sensor used to measure distance using sound waves.

(i) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (ii) Soil Moisture Sensor

(iii) Photodiode (iv) PIR Sensor

B. Write ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.

1. The microcontroller processes the signal from a sensor and can trigger
actions based on that signal.

2. A PIR sensor can trigger actions such as turning on lights when motion

is detected.

3. A soil moisture sensor detects the temperature of the environment.

4. The processing phase of a sensor involves interpreting the signal from
the sensor and making decisions based on that information.

5. Sensors are not used to gather information and trigger actions.

C. Fill in the blanks using the given hints:

1. A changes its resistance based on the amount of light Hints
falling on it. Conversion
Photodiode
2. In Tinkercad, you can use the feature to simulate circuits
Circuits
and sensors. Photoresistor

3. Sensors in robotics help devices with their environment. Interact

4. A sensor generates current when exposed to light and is
used in optical communication.
5. After a sensor detects a stimulus, the step involves converting the physical

signal into an electrical signal.
