Ultraviolet Light and Building Sensors 學習紫外線相關知識並自製測量儀

Visible light is an essential component of our daily lives, playing a crucial role in how we perceive the world around us. It is a segment of the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum, which includes radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays (from longest to shortest wavelength). Ultraviolet radiation is a type of EM radiation with higher energy than visible light, and it can cause harmful effects on human health, such as skin damage and an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. This semester, our students have utilized their knowledge of circuits gained from the previous semester along with newly acquired soldering skills to develop an Arduino UV sensor. By leveraging their understanding of circuitry and programming, they have created a device that can measure and quantify UV radiation levels. The students later used this practical and cost-effective tool to conduct self-designed science experiments that assesses the effects of environmental conditions on UV levels.
