Resource summary
Physics P1 - Energy Transfer by Heating
infrared Radiationi
Form of electromagnetic wave
Emitted by all objects
Detected as heat
Surfaces and Radiation
Black matt surfaces both emit and absorb IR the best
White shiny surfaces are the worst absorbers and emitters of IR
States of Matter
Solid
Particles in uniform format, vibrating in a fixed position
Liquid
Particles move about at random
Still in contact with each other
Gas
Move about randomly with high kinetic energy
Particles much further apart and not in contact
Conduction
Conduction in Metals
Metals are best conductors
Delocalised free electrons transfer vibration down the material by colluding with the other particles
Insulator- Poor conductor
Particles near the heat source gain kinetic energy and vibrate more. This movement is passed on to neighbouring particles
Convection
Occurs in fluids
Heating causes the fluid to become less dense, therefore it rises and is replaced by the cooler particles
Causes convection currrent
Evaporation and Condesation
Evaporation
When a liquid turns into a gas
Particles with the highest kinetic energy escape, taking energy with it, causing cooling
Rate increased by
Increasing surface area of liquid
increasing temperature of liquid
Draught across surface
Condensation
When gas turns to liquid
Rate increased by
Increasing surface area
Reducing surface temperature
Energy Transfer by Design
Heat goes from hot to cold
Greater the temperature difference between object and surroundings, wuicker energy is transfered
Maximise transfer
Use good conductors
Matt black
Air flow
Minimise transfer
Use of insulators
White and shiny
Trapped air
Specific Heat Capacity
Energy required to heat 1kg of a substance by 1 degree
Greater mass more energy needed
E=mass x SHC x temp. change
J/kg(o)C
Heating and Insulating Buildings
