Light

Light travels in waves, the longer the wavelength, the less frequency it has, which means the weaker it is. A light wave can be either reflected, absorbed or transmitted. An object that's black has all of its colour absorbed that no light can be reflected, which then makes black the hottest. An object which is white has a mixture of different colours

In the experiment, the darker colours will absorb the light, the lighter ones will reflect, but all of them will have light transmitted through them, especially the ones with cellophane.

Experiment Set Up

This is basically what my experiment looks like. My results will be up in the next 2 posts.

On the 24th of May at 6:08, I started my experiment

Climate Graph

This is my fail attempt at scanning a photo. You can probably read the labels though

Research

I will need to research quite a few things, such as:
-electromagnetic waves
-absorption of light
-visible light
-heat energy
-the eye

As I get further into the experiment, the list would probably grow. Fabulous.
