- Description
Description
The Wireless Light Sensor features two separate apertures – one for ambient light measurements and one for directional light measurements. The ambient sensor measures illuminance and UV Index, while the spot (directional) aperture measures light level and color intensity. Our software displays the relative intensities of Red, Green, and Blue light, then sums them to determine the level of White light. PAR and irradiance are also available as calculated measurements within PASCO Capstone (version 1.8 or later) and SPARKvue software (version 2.6 or later).
Applications
- Studying solar energy
- Monitoring UV light levels
- Reflection, absorption, and transmission of light through clear, opaque, and variously colored translucent mediums.
- Investigating polarization and reflectivity
- Modeling planetary motion
- Verifying the inverse square law
- Investigating insolation (solar radiation) and seasons
