APPARATUS

1. Solar Power Meter

PROCEDURE

1. During measurement, point the sensor of the Solar Power Meter toward the light

source for the measurement of maximum value.

2. The irradiation is measured in W/m2. When the irradiation is higher than 10 W/m2,

you can measure the value with great accuracy.

3. Measure and record the irradiation of various light sources with different distance.
