Measuring Radiation in Tablets

Post by NiceGirl761 »

My Sci Proj is testing whether tablets, iphones, lap tops emit more radiation when connected to the Internet and whether what you're doing on the Internet affects the amount emitted. I was wondering what would be a good testing device and what other variables I may be able to test.

Hey there,

You can measure the radiation with a microwave leakage meter. You can get one for about $35 on Amazon. Here's one example, but there are others to choose from:

There's also a science buddies project that you might be interested in taking a look at:

Hope that helps!
