The video concludes by showing how infra-red can be used in astronomy to observe distant stars and galaxies. The...

Infrared radiation absorbed results

This video clip demonstrates an investigation into the absorption of infrared radiation by different surfaces. This is a required practical for students to understand and be able to carry out for GCSE Combined Science and Physics.

Infrared radiation emitted

A pair of videos that investigates the emission of infrared radiation by different surfaces.  The first allows students to see the experiment undertaken and the second clip explains how to plot a graph to evaluate the relationship. This is a required practical for students to understand and be able to carry out for...
