How does the temperature of an object affect the rate at which it emits infrared radiation?
The hotter an object is the more infrared radiation it emits in a given time.
1 of 6
Infrared radiation is energy transfer by __________?
Electromagnetic waves
2 of 6
Black (also matt and dull) objects are ____ absorbers AND emitters of IR radiation
GOOD
3 of 6
White shiny objects are _____ absorbers And emitters of IR radiation
POOR

What does energy efficiency mean and how is it worked out?
Efficiency= useful energy output/total energy input. Efficient devices transfer more energy (wasting less)

Explain why the shiny silver-coloured material on the ironing board helps to make ironing easier
The shiny silver-coloured material reflects the infra-red radiation onto the back of the shirt making it easier to iron the clothing as they absorb the infrared radiation.
