Insert description of demonstration, how is the demonstration preformed. A Leslie's cube has four different surface areas. One side is black, one is white, one is aluminum and the last one is brass. Pour hot water into the cube. A reading of the heat radiation from the surfaces is made by using a thermopile and an electrometer. You can show student that different surfaces can radiate the heat in different rate by using a thermopile and an electrometer. You can also show student by put another filter in between the thermopile and the cube to show variation.

Description:

Radiation of heat is demonstrated. Leslie's cube (named after Sir John Leslie who experimented with radiant heat in 1804) consists of a cubical vessel with different sides - one of brass, the other two painted black and white, and another side painted with aluminum. When the cube is filled with boiling water, the radiation is greatest from the black side, and negligible from the shiny side.

Setup:

  1. Make sure that you have enough hot water.
  2. Connect the electric wires from the electrometer to the thermopile horn.
  3. Put the Leslie's cube on the revolving stand at one end of the table.
  4. Across the table, put the thermopole horn that connected with the electrometer and try to align the face of the horn to the side of the Leslie's cube.

Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:

  1. Beware of hot water.

Demonstration:

A Leslie's cube has four different surface areas. One side is black, one is white, one is aluminum and the last one is brass. Pour hot water into the cube. A reading of the heat radiation from the surfaces is made by using a thermopile and an electrometer. You can show student that different surfaces can radiate the heat in different rate by using a thermopile and an electrometer. You can also show student by put another filter in between the thermopile and the cube to show variation.
