Thermo Exam Flashcards
Goes to the next level
Transmitted
Bounces off body
Reflected
Absorbed and converted in body
Absorbed
Bent at next level
Refracted
Total kinetic energy
Heat
Average kinetic energy
Temperature
Specific heat
Amount of heat energy required to raise temp of a given material by a given number of degrees
Conduction
Direct contact
Convection
Movement of a medium
Radiation
No use of medium or contact
Evaporation
Heat loss by changing liquid to gas
Conversion
Nonthermal form of energy into heat. Chemical reaction
Arndt Schultz
No reaction will occur if there is not enough energy absorbed
Gotthus draper
Energy is not lost. If it is not absorbed it is transmitted
Cosines law
Optimal radiation is perpendicular to the source
Inverse square law
Intensity of radiation striking a source varies inversely with the square of the distance from the source
