Q

What are the special properties that they can all do

A
  • they all travel at the same speed (300 000 000 m/s) in a vacuum (but slower in other substances)
  • they are all transverse waves
  • they all reflect
  • all travel at the speed of light

Q

On which side of a leslie cube emitts better heat?

A

matt black surfaces both absorb and emit infrared radiation well, whereas shiny white or silvery surfaces absorb and emit infrared radiation poorly.

So the non shiney black emitts better heat
