Study Notes
- Leslie cube experiment conducted to compare infrared radiation emission between matte black and shiny surfaces
- Results showed matte black surface emitted significantly more infrared radiation compared to the shiny surface
- Additional experiments can be done to test absorption of different surfaces using an infrared lamp and copper tubes covered with various materials
- Matte black surfaces not only best emitters but also best absorbers of infrared radiation, leading to higher temperatures
- Shiny surfaces, while reflecting light well, are poor emitters and absorbers of infrared radiation
