    This document describes an experiment to determine if a black or shiny thermometer bulb absorbs heat more readily from a heat source. Thermometer A has a shiny silver or foil-wrapped bulb, while thermometer B has a matte black painted bulb. The thermometers are placed below the heat source so that heat transfer occurs primarily by thermal radiation. If the temperature recorded by thermometer B rises more quickly over time than thermometer A, it can be concluded that the blackened bulb of thermometer B absorbs thermal radiation better than the shiny bulb of thermometer A.
