1207 – Wireless UV Sensor

The Smart Wireless UV Sensor can be used to investigate a number of scientific experiments such as:

Using the Slow range:

• Absorption of ultraviolet by different types of clothing (not related to colour) 
• Whether the colour of clothing affects absorption of UV
• Investigate the UV protection provided by sunglasses
• Investigate absorption of UV radiation by suntan lotion 
• Investigate how different material like plastic, glass (auto glass comparison), clothes, soft drinks, etc. absorb or reflect UV light
• Direct or diffuse solar radiation - a considerable amount of UV does not come directly from the sun but is scattered by the atmosphere
• Different light levels produce different UV levels

Using the Fast range:

• Variation of UV along a fluorescent tube compared to light output
