Only hot objects emit Infrared Radiation
What makes a metal a good conductor?
Rigid atom structure
Free electrons
Shine absorbs heat quickly
Tendency to absorb heat
Conduction happens in liquids and gases
Convection is the process of heat escaping from the surface of a material
What is Convection?
The movement of water particles down a concentration gradient across a partially permeable membrane.
When more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler one and take their heat energy with them.
That thing that happens when water goes places by bus.
Radiators transfer most of their heat to a room by convection
Where does an object lose heat from?
Inside it
The Surface Area
It can but, heat is merely transferred
What is Specific Heat Capacity?
The amount of heat energy something can store.
The type of topic that nobody understands.
The amount of energy that is wasted by an object
The equation for SHC is: E = m X c X change in T
Kwh is a measure of energy used over a time period
