The Planck’s Constant<\/a> lab in Advanced Physics – Beyond Mechanics<\/a><\/em> requires 4-5 LEDs of various colors. In general most LEDs would work for this lab. The ones easiest to use are “through hole” (i.e. designed for use in a breadboard or to be soldered by hand), 5 mm in diameter, and have a 360 degree visibility. (But the diameter and visibility are less important parameters since students are using sensors to detect when they turn on.)<\/p>\n

Superbrightleds.com has many LEDs that will work for this lab. Here are a few (Color – part number):
Red<\/a> – RL5-R10-360
Orange<\/a>– RL3-O3214
Yellow<\/a> – RL5-Y3545
Green<\/a> – RL5-G20-360
Blue<\/a> – RL5-B08-360<\/p>\n
