This simple experiment provides a quick demonstration of the effect of colour on the absorption off thermal radiation.
Two identical beaks are painted different colours: One shiny, the other black. They are then placed equal distances from a filament lightbulb (a source of thermal radiation).
Thermometers placed in the top of each flask allows the temperature to be monitored.
