HEAT TRANSFER BY RADIATION
Learning Points 1. State that heat is transferred in straight lines in all directions by radiation. 2. State that heat rays are also known as infra-red rays. 3. Give examples of the uses of infra-red radiation.
Heater Infrared Radiation • Heat energy waves (or rays) are known as • Infrared Radiation. • Infrared Radiation waves will travel out from • a hot source in all directions.
Infrared Radiation • Heat energy from the sun travels to earth by • radiation. • Since the space between the sun and the earth • is a vacuum (no particles present), the heat • cannot travel by conduction or convection.
Infrared Radiation pictures • Special Infrared cameras can be used to • show the Infrared radiation given off by • different objects. gosublogger.com
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is a infrared image of a child’s hand holding a lizard. • Lizards are reptiles and are cold blooded. • Notice how the child`s hand is warm compared to the lizard.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is an infrared image of a person. • What area is the hottest? • What do you think it is?
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is an infrared image of two coffee cups containing very hot drinks.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is a infrared image of a dear in the dark. • Since infrared cameras detect heat radiation they can see the heat from warm blooded animals in the dark.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This infrared medical scan shows an injured and healthy leg. • The bright white region shows the location of the injury, which is warmer due to the increased blood flow to the injured area.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is a infrared image of footprints. • As this person walks away barefoot the heat left behind her feet stills glows on the ground.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is an infrared image of a cat. • The yellow areas are the warmest and the purple areas are cool.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is a infrared image of a tyre that has been heated by friction with the road. • Notice how the area of the tyre that touches the road glows much more brightly when you look through the infrared camera.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is a infrared image of a zebra. • Notice how the stripes appear on the infrared. • Do you think these are the black or white stripes?
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is an infrared image of a heating element. • Even after the stove is turned off, this heating element will glow brightly in the infrared until it reaches room temperature.
Infrared Radiation pictures • This is a infrared map of global sea surface temperatures. • Infrared satellites are used to measure and track changing ocean surface temperatures to help predict weather patterns.
Radiation Absorbers and Emitters • Different surfaces will absorb different amounts of • infrared radiation. -Dull, black surfaces are good absorbers of radiation. -Light, shiny surfaces will reflect the radiation.
Vacuum Flask freshpromotions.com.au
Vacuum Flask • A vacuum flask has a double wall of silvered glass with some vacuum between the wall. • The silvered surfaces reflect the infrared radiation from the very hot contents back in to the flask. • The vacuum between the outer and inner walls prevents heat loss through conduction.
Quick Quiz • What direction does radiation travel? • Which will radiate more heat, black or shiny surfaces? • Which will absorb more heat? In all directions in a straight line Black Black
Quick Quiz • What’s the other name for heat radiation? • Give two uses for this radiation. Infra-red Infrared photographs, remote controls, heat seeking missiles, searching for earthquake survivors, chasing criminals, making toast, keeping homes warm…
Radiation • Put 5mls hot water into each test tube • Take the temperature at time ‘0’ • Take the temperature of each test tube every minute for 10 minutes • What results would you expect? Why Glass Black paper Silver foil
Radiation • Thermal energy can travel in waves, a bit like light • Waves do not need particles so: • They travel very fast (300 000km/sec) • They can travel through a vacuum (e.g. Space) • They can be reflected • They can not travel through opaque objects – the energy gets absorbed instead
Radiation – what have we learnt? • Copy and complete the following: The water in the test tube covered in black paper cooled.....this is because... The water in the test tube covered in silver foil cooled....this is because... • Houses in hot countries are often painted white – explain why you think this is. • Polar bears actually have black skin beneath their fur – explain why you think this is.
