The Go Direct Light and Color Sensor combines the power of multiple sensors to measure light intensity in the visible range and UV portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The fast sampling rate for the visible light sensor (1000 Hz) allows you to observe the flicker of fluorescent lamps.
Red, green, blue (RGB) color sensor
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 above a surface, reducing the effect of variable ambient light.
UV sensor
Ideal for experiments using sunlight and UV lamps, the UV sensor responds well to ultraviolet radiation in the UVB spectrum.
The Go Direct Light and Color Sensor can be used in a variety of experiments:
- Explore light intensity as a function of distance.
- Conduct polarized filter studies.
- Observe the flicker of fluorescent lamps.
- Perform reflectivity studies, including color analysis.
