Description

The PASCO PASPort High Sensitivity Light Sensor PS-2176 is designed to be used with a PASCO PASPort compatible interface to make measurements of relative light intensity. It is designed to perform visible light studies from low-intensity spectral studies to daylight. Built-in automatic variable oversampling reduces noise.

Measure in bright sunlight to dim candlelight, and everything in between! PASCO's Light Sensor has three ranges to accommodate a wide variety of student light measurements. Switch ranges with the touch of a button and without losing calibration. No other Light Sensor combines such a wide range with such high-sensitivity.

NOTE: It is recommended that you purchase a PASPort-compatible interface in order to retrieve readings from the sensor.

Features

  • Sensor communicates range changes to the computer, so readings are always correct.
  • Mounts easily to PASCO apparatus
  • Study interference/diffraction/polarization
  • Compare relative intensity of reflected light from a variety of surfaces
  • Measure light intensity vs. distance
  • Spectrophotometry
