Supplier:  Vernier™ GDXLC

Catalog No. S39716

Description

• Visible Light Sensor
  • Wavelengths: 400 to 800 nm
  • Range: 0 to 150,000 lux
  • Maximum sampling rate: 1,000 samples/s
• UV Sensor
  • Responsive to UVA and UVB wavelengths
  • Maximum sampling rate: 1 Hz
• RGB Sensor
  • Peak response: 615 nm peak (red); 525 nm peak (green); 465 nm peak (blue)
  • Maximum sampling rate: 0.5 Hz
• Explore light intensity as a function of distance.
• Conduct polarized filter studies.
• Observe the flicker of fluorescent lamps.
• Perform reflectivity studies, including color analysis.
• The fast sampling rate for the visible light sensor (1000 Hz) allows you to observe the flicker of fluorescent lamps.
• Use the RGB sensor to determine the relative contribution of red, green, and blue light. A built-in white LED provides uniform illumination when the sensor is placed directly on a surface, reducing the effect of variable ambient light.
• Ideal for experiments using sunlight and UV lamps, the UV sensor responds well to ultraviolet radiation in the UVA and UVB spectrum.
