What are the features of the stevenson screen?

Instruments which are used to measure temperature and Humidity should be kept inside "stevenson screen". Its a wooden box to shade from direct sunlight, Its painted white to reflect sunlight, It has vents to allow free flow of air. The stevenson screen should be located away from trees and buildings which could affect the temperature!


What is a stevenson screen that can be found in every meteorological station?

•Steven sun screen also known as meteorological screen and it is made by wood. •This screen is used at met. Center and it save the instruments from sun light and rain allowing the passage of air.


How do you separate pebbles from mud?

The simplest way to separate pebbles from mud is to use screen made from an appropriate sized mesh hardware cloth. Mount the screen material in a frame and wash the mud through the screen, leaving the pebbles in the screen.

Do you measure air temperature in shade or in sunlight?

Air temperature should be measured in the shade. Sunlight falling on the instrument, the thermometer, will heat up the temperature receptor through radiation, causing the reading to be incorrectly high. For greater accuracy, place thermometer inside a box-like device called a Stevenson screen. Its purpose is to provide a standardized environment in which to measure temperature, humidity, dewpoint and atmospheric pressure. This product works by preventing sunlight from hitting the receptor on the thermometer, but it still allows air to circulate in and out. This device is also known as a cotton region shelter, an instrument shelter, a thermometer shelter, a thermo-screen or a thermometer screen.

What did the alpha scattering experiment reveal?

The alpha radiation in the experiment was detected by using a microscope and a fluorescent screen. When an alpha particle strikes the screen, the coating will fluoresce, and it will give off a "flash" of light. This small flash of light can be picked up by the investigator using the microscope.

What caused the deflection of the alpha particles in Rutherfords gold foil experiment?

A zinc sulfide coated screen surrounding the gold foil produced a flash of light whenever it was struck by an alpha particle. By noting where the flash occurred, the scientists could determine if the atoms in the gold foil deflected the alpha particles.

How do cathode ray tubes work?

The cathode ray tube (CRT) is an evacuated glass envelope containing an electron gun (a source of electrons) and a fluorescent screen, usually with internal or external means to accelerate and deflect the electrons. When electrons strike the fluorescent screen, light is emitted. Source: Copied from Wikipedia
