Figure 11 shows the apparatus set up to determine the effect of surface nature on the
radiation of heat.
The following steps were carried out:

Step 1 : Equal amounts of hot water are poured into each of the conical flask with
different surface nature.
Step 2: The temperature oh the hot water is taken every five minutes for 15 minutes.

The readings of the thermometer are shown in Figure 12.
