- where does it work best?
-
- infrared radiation is constantly being absorbed and emitted by objects, it is an electromagnetic wave and is felt in the form of heat
-
- Dark, matt surfaces are best at absorbing and emitting infrared radiation
- light, shiny surfaces are poor absorbers and poor emitters of infrared radiation
- they are also good at reflecting infrared radiation.
- The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation they emit in a given time.
