Difference between Sensor and Transducer

A sensor detects physical properties like light or temperature and converts them into electrical signals. A transducer, broader in scope, converts one form of energy (e.g., mechanical) into another (e.g., electrical). There are various difference between sensor and transducer. Some of the differences are listed below. What is Transducer and Sensor? A transducer is a
