The unit has been designed to demonstrate the fundamental laws relating to radiation. By performing a series of simple experiments the students may verify the relevant equation appropriate the behavior of radiations. Thermal radiation is a mode of heat transfer which differs significantly from the other two modes. The fact that radiant energy transfer occurs across a vacuum is often disturbing to students unless the theory relating to properties of electromagnetic waves has been presented. The engineer is not directly concerned with the mechanism by which heat transfer occurs, but a sound knowledge of the properties and laws relating to the topic are required. By performing a series of simple experiments the student may verify the relevant equations of radiation. The unit Thermal Radiation consists of electrically heated radiant heat and light sources together with a comprehensive range of targets and measuring instruments.

The unit consists of a horizontal track fitted with interchangeable heat radiation source end and light source. Either the heat radiation detector or the light meter may be placed on the horizontal track. In addition, a number of accessories can be fitted for experimental purposes. These include metal plates, two vertically orientated metal plates to form an aperture, and a number of light filters. The radiation detectors accessories are all clamped to stand, which enable them to be positioned at different distances from the source. Distances are measured with scales mounted on the front and the back of the track.
Temperatures of the three metal plates used in conjunction with the heat radiation source are displayed on the control panel. Output from heat radiation detector and light meter are displayed on digital read out.
