Physics 1a - Energy
  1. Heat Radiation
    1. Transferred by Infrared Radiation(IR)
      1. Emitted by solids, liquid and gases
        1. Any object can absorb or emit IR
          1. Bigger difference between the object and surrounding
            1. Faster Heat transfer
            2. Emitted from surface
              1. Can feel IR up close
              2. Dark, matt surfaces absorb better
                1. Than shiny, silver surfaces
              3. Kinetic Theory
                1. Three states of matter
                  1. Solid
                    1. Strong forces hold particles close together
                      1. Not much energy
                      2. Liquid
                        1. Weaker forces of attraction
                          1. Particles move at low speeds
                          2. Gas

                              1. Lots of energy
                            2. Give a state of matter more energy....
