Question

1. Which statement shows the direction of the transfer of heat in this experiment?

The heat transfer is from the
to the
.

2. Which statement compares the temperatures of the white and black sheets at 1, 2, and 3 minute(s)?

The temperature
.

3. What conclusion can be made based on this data?

Answer 1

1. The heat transfer is from the heat (light) source to the sheets.

2. The temperature of the black sheet is higher than the temperature of the white sheet at 1, 2, and 3 minutes (the black sheet warms faster).

3. Conclusion: Black surfaces absorb more radiant energy and heat up more quickly than white surfaces, while white surfaces reflect more radiation and remain cooler.
