Principle
The warming of a body in sunlight depends on its surface color. A black and a white plate are placed side by side on the board and illuminated with a reflector lamp. Temperature measurements on both plates show a clear difference in the absorption behavior of both plates after a short time.
Benefits
- Part of a system solution - easily expandable for further experiments
- Simple teaching by using the demo board physics
- Clear test execution by using ADM3 multimeters
Learning objectives
- The students observe the absorption behavior of black and white plates.
- The students learn about the conversion of light energy into heat energy.
