Description:
Leslie's Cube, Absorbtion / Radiation Box
Specification:
Leslie's Cube, Absorbtion / Radiation Box - Leslie's Cube demonstrates
heat absorption and radiation. The cube features four sides with
different finishes:
Flat Black
Gloss Black
White
Shiny Tin
The top of the cube is fitted with a rubber stopper with a hole for the
insertion of a thermometer (not included). When a lamp or other
radiation source is shined onto the differing sides, students can
investigate the varying properties of surface finishes by measuring the
rate of heat absorption in the water inside. They may then measure the
rate at which heat is released from the cube through a given side. The
thermal difference between the sides may be as great as 20 times. The
cube is 4 inches on each side.
