Influence of the surface on the absorption of solar energy

Principle

The degree to which an object heats up in sunlight depends on the colour of its surface. A black and a white plate are fastened next to each other on the board. Then, they are illuminated with a reflector lamp. Even after a short period of time, temperature measurements on both plates show a clear difference in the absorption characteristics of the two plates.

Benefits

• Part of a system solution - Easily expandable for further experiments
• easy teaching by using the demo board for demonstration
• Simplified implementation: all pre-settings already prepared
