Measures infrared radiation intensity over a broad spectrum, allowing students to study blackbody radiation and other experiments. For use with PASPORT Interfaces.
- 1x Shutter with thumbscrew and washer
See the Buying Guide for this item's required, recommended, and additional accessories.
Product Summary
The Infrared Light Sensor is sensitive in the infrared portion (up to 40,000 nm) of the spectrum, but also detects the visible spectrum. It can detect the radiation from a person’s hand. The response is linear over its entire frequency range.
Features
- Measure intensity in Watts/Meter2 (W/m2).
- Built in thermistor to measure temperature of the “cold” side of the thermopile in °C, °F or K.
Applications
- Measure blackbody radiance
- Perform Leslie’s Cube experiments
- Measure solar radiance
- Evaluate heat flow into or out of the sensor
- Simulate a non-contact temperature sensor
What's Included
- 1x Shutter with thumbscrew and washer
