Physics Project #2 Idea

Sem 2: Physics of Sensors

Aim: To make a efeective use of ultrasonic detector, detecting the distance between the amplifier and
and an obstacle.

Materials :Ultrasonic sound detector ,Arduino,wires, light/buzzer for detection,lcd/laptop to find the
measure between 2 points, wires, programme for Arduino, bread board, resistor if necessary.

Time required to complete:1 hour or 2

Estimated cost: 500-1500

Brief Description:We see many applications of the sensors in day to day life. This project is to make the
working and uses of this in various fields. Buzzer and theft, alert and alarms, To detect the distance
between a object with respect to other. Now a days heavy vehicles use these sensors for immediate
brake action to avoid collision detecting the presence of something a car or anything.

Procedure and Working: We connect the arduino according to the circuit along with the ultrasonic
detectors. These detectors consists of a transmitter and receiver which produces ultrasonic sound and
the reflected wave if any which happens to be received at. Which then calculates the distance from
spend and time of the projected and reflected wave. This provides us the time of action and we can set
parameters according to our convenience.The programme for Arduini can be made and uploaded to the
Arduino. WE can make adjustments in the programme and make it detect the parameters we desire.

With this model we csn help to get burglar alarms n everyday life, blind man’s stick.The ultrasonic
detector has a parameter of 4m to detect obstacles.

It is commercially used in high scale. Thus advancing in this technology has a lot of pros and cons. The
setup costs a bit expensive. Easy to use circuit. Programming problems resolving.etc

Result: To detect the movements around and to display the distance of action taking place. And to enlist
more of its applications.
