Absorption of Infrared Radiation by different colors The lab is on Infrared Radiation. Infrared Radiation is one form of electromagnetic radiation. The experiment was to observe which colors absorbed the most Infrared Radiation . The hypothesis was that blue, being the darkest color, would absorb more than white and red. Our Results were as follows Our materials were used to show the temperature change in the different cloth. They were different colored cloth, thermometers, and heat …

…second most amount. The chart shows you our results. In conclusion, red was not the most expected color to absorb the most heat. Although white started off at 45 degrees celsius so it was going to be our second choice to absorb the most heat. That part of our hypothesis was right. Blue, our first choice to absorb the most heat , absorbed the least amount of heat. Our experiment showed us new things about IR radiation.
