any idea of any experiment that can be done for thermal radiation which can be done easily at home ( or even the harder ones) thanks
well. you will need a radiation sensor and a good optical source like a stfan-boltzmann lamp. then again to get an output u need a voltmeter.
disconnect the rotation tray of a microwave oven , put plate of frozen water (ice) on in the microwave, observe the melting pattern
UnkleRhaukus what do mean by observing the pattern? can u have further explanation
well a microwave oven works by radiating items with photons of the right energy to excite \(H_2O\) molecules i would be interested to see how evenly the microwaves are distributed
im imagining the closer to the globe the faster the melting
actually im not sure if this is thermal radiation .
oo ok interesting thanks
any more idea of expereiment on heat transfer ( conduction or conection or even radiation)
actually i am doing a project i am thinking if radiation is absorbed means conduction and reflection means insulation why now direct do radiation and i can solve all the stuffs
put a two thermometers in identical (except for colour) black and white cups , observe which cools faster
cups of boiled water*
but you are saying about the micorwave after thinking for some moment i think ( i mean my opinion) is that the ice will sublime no mroe pattern to see cause it will direct become gas
