By Mohammad Kanber Nowadays, people rely completely on their phones for varieties of things, so we spend much of our time on our phones, which increases our exposure to these devices. Therefore, in this lab, the range of light emission of the iPhone is tested using Red Tid USB650 UV probe. To do this experiment, flashlight app from the apple store was downloaded. The uniqueness of this application is the ability to emit the highest light frequency that an iPhone can go to as well as the lower one. This can somehow measure the light emission capacity of the iPhone. the light source was placed in front of the Red Tid UV detector, which in turn can analyze the collected data and plot it as wave length vs Intensity as shown in Figure 1.
