What is infrared radiation
Infrared radiation is energy transfer by electromagnetic waves
1 of 8
Do all objects give off (emit) infrared radiation?
All objects emit infrared radiation
2 of 8
How does infrared radiation depend on the temperature of an object?
The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits in a given time
3 of 8
Which surfaces are the best emitters of infrared radiation?
Dark, matt surfaces emit more infrared radiation than light, shiny surfaces
4 of 8
Which surfaces are the best absorbers of infrared radiation?
Dark, matt surfaces absorb more infrared radiation than light, shiny surfaces
5 of 8
Which surfaces are the best reflectors of infrared radiation?
Light,shiny surfaces reflect more infrared radiation than dark matt surfaces
6 of 8
How are solids, liquids and gases different?
Flow, shape, volume and density are the properties used to describe each state of matter
7 of 8
How are the particles in a solid, liquid and a gas arranged?
The particles in a solid are held next to each other in fixed positions
