Experimenting with Ultraviolet light

LI: to find the most effective UV filter.

LS2 has been trialing the electronic sensor for the kiwrious project. We are working with Suranga, Sonia, Evan, Dawn and Yvonne from the AHL at the Auckland University. I found that the red paper was the most efficient filter to keep Zally safe from the UV light. My DLO will show you how I did this.

  1. Greetings Lukah!

    The sensors look quite fun and educative. Suranga, Sonia, Evan, Dawn and Yvonne seem quite strong in this subject. I have also used those sensors and experimented with the materials. If you found the red paper the most effecient, what was its best result? Next time I think a little bit more of a description would be better.

    Keep up the great work!

    1. Hi Fau,
      The work with UVI sensors were really fun, and Suranga, Sonia, Evan, Dawn and Yvonne were really experienced it that subject. To answer your question the best result for me with the red paper was 0.2 UVI and 2534.7 Lux. What was the best filter that you used? I will improve my blogs in the future.

      Thanks.

    2. In my group, the most efficient filter that me and my group found was also the red paper. The UV was 0.3 with the lux of 17118.8. If you were a zally, what type of material would you recommend?

    3. In my pair with Chris the best filter that worked for us was the tissue paper as it would block lots of UV light and it would let in lots of natural light. If you were to choose a filter witch one would you recommend?

    4. I have also tested the tissue paper and me and my partner found it quite effecient. If I were to choose a filter I would recommend the red paper or the clear plastic with sunblock. Did you and Chris try the clear plastic and sunblock? If so, what was the results?

  2. Hi Fau,
    Me and Chris tried the plastic filter with sunblock and our results weren't so good. I couldn't remember the results but it didn't block much UV light. Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks.
