Leslie Cube Infrared Radiation Experiment

The Leslie cube experiment involves using an infrared camera to observe the emission of infrared radiation from different sides of a cube heated to different temperatures. The video demonstrates that polished metal sides emit less infrared radiation than rough or painted sides, and that objects at higher temperatures are better emitters of infrared radiation. The controlled variables are the material and temperature of the cube, the independent variable is which side is observed, and the dependent variable is the rate of infrared radiation emitted. The experiment could be improved by measuring temperature quantitatively.
