With regard to night vision cameras, which one among the following is correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

Night vision cameras function by detecting infrared (IR) light, which falls just outside the visible spectrum for the human eye. There are two primary types of night vision technologies:

  • Image Enhancement (Light Amplification): These devices collect tiny amounts of ambient light, including near-infrared light, and amplify it to create a visible image.
  • Thermal Imaging: These cameras detect the infrared radiation emitted as heat by objects. Since living beings and many machines are warmer than their surroundings, they stand out clearly even in total darkness.

In contrast, ultraviolet light is high-energy radiation often used in forensic analysis, while radio waves and microwaves are used for communication and radar systems rather than passive night vision imaging.
