IMS IR Radiation Lab# 5: Academic Standards:  3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8    Name(s): ____________ _____________

        CAUTION: DO NOT AIM AT EYES                                                                    Period: ______ Date:`___________  SCORE:____ /20

Materials: IR hand held infrared heat detector, stop watch, regular room thermometer, calculators and graph paper.
 
 Room Air temperature= _____ Celsius. Outside air temperature= _______ Celsius. Ground temperature= ____ Celsius.

Objective(s):
Students will use the IR hand held infrared heat detector to investigate color and heat utilizing cars in the parking lot.

Data sampling: Students will collect IR temperatures from the following car colors and perform an analysis of the results.                                                                    

1. Car Color

2. Roof Temperature

3. Hood Temperature

4. Trunk

Temperature

5. Windshield Glass Temperature

6. Tires

7. IR Ground Temperature

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record the results of both lab partners.

Analysis questions:

  1. Compare and contrast color results with your lab partner. How do they compare?
  2. How does your results compare to other lab groups?
  3. Rank the colors by temperature from highest to lowest?
  4. Can you postulate why there are differences in color temperatures?

   5. Predict the loss of heat rates for the colors?
Graph the results of the colors for two parameters of interest.
