Spectral response

Spectral response refers to how well a device, like a sensor or camera, detects or measures light across different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light. It indicates the device's efficiency in capturing signals at each wavelength, helping determine its suitability for specific applications. For example, a camera with a high spectral response in the infrared range can capture details invisible to the naked eye. Understanding spectral response is essential for analyzing the accuracy and performance of instruments that rely on light detection in various scientific, industrial, and technological fields.
