==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[File:LeslieCube.png|right|300px|thumb|This picture shows a '''Leslie cube''' in [[Visible Light|visible light]] and in [[Infra-red]]. It can be seen that a black surface [[emit]]s [[radiation]] more quickly than a [[Reflectivity|reflective]] surface and that a white surface [[emit]]s more [[radiation]] than a "mat" [[Diffuse Reflection|diffusely reflective]] silvered surface.]]
A '''Leslie cube''' is a piece of [[experiment]]al [[equipment]] used to demonstrate how [[Black Body Radiation|black body radiation]] is affected by the [[colour]] of a surface.
===About the Leslie Cube===
: The '''Leslie Cube''' demonstrates that [[Shade|darker]] surfaces [[emit]] more [[infra-red]] [[radiation]] than [[Reflectivity|shiny]] surfaces.
