Radiation
Students will explain heat transfer by radiation and identify factors affecting its rate.
Key Questions
- Explain how thermal energy can be transferred through a vacuum.
- Compare the rates of radiation from different surfaces (e.g., dull black vs. shiny silver).
- Design a container that minimizes heat loss through radiation.
