Optical Smoke Detector
An optical smoke detector is a type of smoke alarm that uses light beams to detect smoke particles in the air.
These detectors work by shining a beam of light across a chamber. When smoke enters the chamber, it scatters the light beam, causing the detector to trigger an alarm.
