Science Note: Visualising energy transformations in electric circuits with infrared cameras
Issue 364 | Page 19 | Published Mar 2017
Description
Increasingly affordable visualisation technology brings exciting opportunities for making the invisible appear visible. This can support the teaching and learning of many challenging physics concepts. Hand-held infrared (IR) cameras offer real-time instant visual feedback of temperature changes that correspond to energy transfer and transformations.
