Heat and temperature Flashcards
What is heat measured in?
Joules or J
what is the temperature measured in?
It is measured in Celcius and you use a thermometer to found out what celsius it would be
what could thermal energy be transferred by?
convention conduction and radiation
what is conduction
conduction is where a substance gets heated and the particles vibrate vigorously and then they bump into other particles and then that passes thermal energy from the hot end of the substance to the cold end
what is convection
convection is where the particles of liquids and gases can move from place to place and then thermal energy is transferred to a hot place and cold places by convection
what is radiation
radiation is that no particles are involved with it and only radiation can work in space also radiation is how we can feel the sun
