Light intensity
LUX is the unit used to measure the intensity of light that hits or passes through a surface. Light intensity is measured using a LUX meter.
Materials:
- Lux meter
Method:
1. Power-up: press the power key to turn the meter ON.
2. Selecting the Lux/FC scale: set the range selection switch to desired Lux/FC range.
3.Remove the photo detector cap and face it to light source in a horizontal position. Hold in position for 30 seconds - 1 minute.
4. Read and record the results.
The light intensity that was measured during this field study was 183 LUX which fell short of the average of 400-600 LUX.
