What surfaces are the best emiters of infrared radiation?
Dark, matt surfaces emit more infrared radiation than light, shiny surfaces.
1 of 10
What surfaces are the best absorbers of infrared radiation?
Dark, matt surfaces absorb more infrared radiation than light, shiny surfaces.
2 of 10
What surfaces are the best reflectors of infrared radiation?
Light, shiny surfaces reflect more infrared radiation than dark matt surfaces.

How are the particles in solids arranged?
The particles in a slid are held next to each other in fixed positions. They vibrate about their fixed positions so the solid keeps its own shape.
4 of 10
How are the particles in liquids arranged?
The particles in a liquid are in contact with each other. They move about at random. So a liquid doesn't have its own shape and it can flow.
5 of 10
How are the particles in gases arranged?
The particles in a gas move about at random much faster. They are much further apart from each other than in a liquid.
6 of 10
Why is a gas much less dense than a solid or a liquid?
The particles in a gas move about randomly and are much further apart than particles in a solid or liquid.
7 of 10
Do all objects give off infrared radiation?
All objects give off infrared radiation
8 of 10
How does infrared radiation depend on the temperature of the object?
The hotter an object, the more infrared radiation it emits in a given time.
9 of 10
What makes an object emit/ absorb infrared radiation faster?
If there is a bigger difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings.
