- Depends mostly on surface colour and texture.
- Dark matt surfaces absorb heat radiation much better than bright, glossy surfaces, such as gloss white or silver.
- They also emit much more heat radiation at any given temperature.
- Silvered/ shiny surfaces reflect nearly all the heat radiation falling on them.
- Dark matt surfaces absorb heat radiation much better than bright, glossy surfaces, such as gloss white or silver.
- Leslies Cube: The matt black side emits , most heat, so its thermometer gets hottest.
- The Melting Wax Trick: The matt black surface absorbs most heat, so its wax melts first and the ball bearing drops.
