Radiation

Radiation is the flow of heat from one place to another by means of


electromagnetic waves (video)
Radiation

Every object radiate according to its temperature. The higher the temperature, the
higher the radiated energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nX2Lee5MwY
Radiation

White and shiny (блестящие) objects are bad absorbers (поглатители) and emitters
(излучатели) Black and matt (матовые) objects are good absorbers and emitters
Radiation

In hot countries buildings are painted in white color to decrease solar energy
absorption (поглощение).
Radiation

Special suits are made of white and shiny materials to decrease radiation
absorption.
Radiation
Good emitters are good absorbers
Bad emitters are bad absorbers
Challenge time!!!

Name each of the pictures with different types of heat transfer


HW project
Aim: To find which materials are good absorbers of
radiation.
Materials: Two cans of equal size, one of which is
polished and shiny on the outside and one which is
black and dull (If you cannot find such cans you can
wrap kitchen foil on a can to make it shiny, and use
black coloured paper on the other), water.
Procedure: Pour equal amounts of water into the
cans. Place them in full sunlight, or place them equal
distances from an electric fire. Put your finger inside
each can. What do you observe?
Explain the results of the experiment and provide
evidence (доказательство) [ short video with
explanation ]
