Which displacement sensor has the slowest response time among Optical type, Eddy current type, Ultrasonic type and Laser focus type? Correct Answer Ultrasonic Type

Ultrasonic type displacement sensor has the slowest response time among all the above mentioned type sensors. It’s so because it uses ultrasonic sound waves for the measurement while Optical and Laser type uses light for the measurement which is much faster than the ultrasonic waves. Eddy current type sensors uses high frequency magnetic field which is also faster than the ultrasonic waves.

Statement (I): To use a sensor, we generally need to add signal conditioning circuitry, such as circuits which amplify and convert from analog to digital, to get the sensor signal in the right form, take account of any non-linearities, and calibrate it. Statement (II): A smart sensor is integrated with the required buffering and conditioning circuitry in a single element and provides functions beyond that of just a sensor.
