Greenhouse Effect?? Experimental Set (115 V 50/60 Hz)

Product Overview

Product Information:?.. A set of equipment permitting quick and easy experiments to demonstrate the effect of greenhouse gases on the absorption of infra red radiation. Solar radiation received by the earth is simulated here by means of short wave infrared radiation that is attenuated by absorption in water and visible light from a reflector lamp. Infra red radiation emitted by the earth is simulated by heating a black metal disc. Both types of radiation are made to pass through air or butane gas in a metal tube and subsequently registered with a thermopile. Comparison of the obtained values reveals that long wave infra red radiation is absorbed to a high degree by butane gas. Consequently butane gas released into the atmosphere causes it to heat up i.e. butane gas is a greenhouse gas. Contents:?.. 1 ? Base plate 1 ? Lamp holder with reflector lamp 1 ? Cuvette on stem 1 ? Black metal disc 1 ? Metal tube simple 1 ? Metal tube with taps 2 ? Mounting stems 1 ? Silicone hose 1 ? Storage case Additionally Required:?.. Butane Gas
