For my science fair project I want to take celophane and cover glass beakers with different colors: red green blue etc. and shine a sun lamp on each different beaker with water in them and see which water has the highest temperature after a certain amount of time. I am also going to use different liquids like alcohol and salt water and see if this had an affect on the heat absorption. I am going to use a clear glass as my constant. I looked through your archives and found information on the color of objects and heat absorbtion but thought that it would be different if it wasn't the actual object but something covering it and also if it was a liquid and not a solid. I just want some information, or a place to locate information to base my hypothesis on, and also to understand how the colors might affect this and how energy relates to light and color.
Re: HOw does color affect heat absorbtion?
