Resource summary
P1
Energy Transfer by Heating
Infrared radiation
Can detect with skin- will keep you warm
All objects emit (give it out)
more heat = more i.r
Can travel through a vacuum (space) - this is how we get energy from the sun
Surfaces and radiation
Dark, matte surfaces ABSORB i.r... it will heat up quicker than shiny white
Dark, matte surfaces EMIT i.r ... it will cool down quicker than shiny white
Shiny white REFLECT i.r
States of matter
Solid- particles vibrate in fixed position (fixed shape)
Liquid- particles have contact but no fixed shape so can flow
Gas- far apart and random. Smallest mass.
Conduction
mainly in solids
metals are best conductors
Wool and fibreglass are good insulators
Free electrons transfer energy when they collide
Non metals are bad- no free electrons
Convection
Circulation of a fluid caused by heat
Heat makes it less dense
less dense- rises
cools, condenses, falls
Evaporation
Liquid to gas
causes cooling
increase by: surface area, temp.
Condensation
Gas to liquid
increase by: surface area and temp.
found on cold surfaces
