Solution

  1. Infrared radiations can be detected by the thermopile.
  2. A thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy.
  3. Thermopiles are designed to measure temperature from a distance by detecting an object's infrared (IR) energy. The higher the temperature, the more IR energy is emitted.

Hence, Infrared radiation can be detected by a thermopile.
