No, a typical camera cannot view both visible light and infrared simultaneously without any modifications or additional components.
Conventional cameras, such as those found in smartphones or digital cameras, are designed to capture visible light, which encompasses the wavelengths that humans can see. They have a built-in image sensor that is sensitive to visible light and filters out other wavelengths.
However, it is possible to modify or adapt a camera to capture both visible light and infrared radiation simultaneously. This can be achieved by removing or modifying the infrared-blocking filter in the camera and adding an infrared-passing filter. This modification allows the camera's sensor to detect infrared radiation along with visible light.
There are specialized cameras available, such as thermal cameras or infrared cameras, that are specifically designed to capture infrared radiation. These cameras have sensors that are sensitive to infrared wavelengths and are equipped with appropriate filters and optics to optimize infrared imaging.
So, while a regular camera cannot capture both visible light and infrared simultaneously without modifications, it is possible to modify or use specialized cameras to achieve this capability.
