RADIATION CANS

Introduction

The P ASCO Radiation Cans are a set of three
cans: one silver, one white, and one black. These
cans are very useful in demonstrating that objects of
the same material, but with different colors, will
absorb and radiate heat at different rates. By filling
the cans with water, and determining the temperature
of each, one can confirm that the darker can heats
and cools more quickly than the cans of lighter color.

Equipment

• Radiation Cans

Additional Equipment Recommended:

• Digital Thermometer, PASCO Model SE-9086
or, CI-6505A Temperature sensor with

Science Workshop

• fan (optional)
