LED

A “light emitting diode” (LED) is a semiconductor which

produces light of a particular wavelength as a result

of electrical stimulation. The wavelength is determined by the chemical composition of the semiconductor. Depending on the application, sensors are used which emit either visible red light or infrared light which is not visible to the human eye.
