TESS advanced Physics set Radioactivity

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Function and Applications

Equipment set allowing the performance of 11 experiments about the following topics:

• Examination of naturally occurring radioactive substances (5 Experiments)
• Types of radiation and their characteristics (6 Experiments)

Benefits

• Complete equipment set simple execution of the experiments
• The equipment is stored in a rugged, stackable and compact box, allowing quick control of completeness (foam insert)
• Matched with international curriculum: all topics are covered
• Experiments on the fundamentals of radioactivity using only common available natural radioactive sources
• Special radioactive emitter only required for 4 advanced experiments
• Counter tube is an integral part of the set
• Measurements are made with the kit contained Cobra SMARTsense and directly transferred to smartphone, tablet computer or PC.

Equipment and technical data

• The equipment set consists of all necessary components to perform the basic experiments using a Bluetooth capable device (not included) like smartphone, tablet computer or PC
• Robust, stackable storage box with a foam insert fitting to the contained equipment
