How does a hand dryer sensor work?

This hand dryer is equipped with a full automatic sensor. The sensor will emit a ray of infrared light, which cannot be seen by the human eye. When the user's hands hit the ray it bounces back into the dryer, which triggers the sensor to turn on the machine. The dryer will remain on until 4 seconds after the hands are removed from the infrared light ray.
