Measuring Radiation in Tablets
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.

Re: Measuring Radiation in Tablets
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:
