Q. Which of the following is the principle of Golay cell which is used as a detector in IR spectroscopy?

(A) expansion of gas upon heating
(B) increase in resistance due to an increase in temperature and vice versa
(C) temperature difference gives rise to a potential difference in the material
(D) decrease in resistance due to an increase in temperature
Correct : Option (A)

Explanation:
 it is also known as pneumatic detector. the gases expand on heating and this in turn leads to the movement of a diaphragm just like in pneumatic sensors.
