About temperature and thermal physics slides
GoConqr OriginalTemperature and thermal physics slides
The slide sets take different routes through this unit. Thermal Physics introduces the kinetic model and the arrangement and motion of particles. Kinetic theory and thermodynamics covers assumptions about ideal gases, while the slides on infrared radiation look at absorption and emission.
Choosing and using slides
For an introduction to particles, start with Thermal Physics. For a practical focus, Specific heat capacity (required practical) sets out an investigation into the specific heat capacity of materials. IGCSE Physics Heat Transfer brings together radiation, conduction and convection.
Work through a slide set a section at a time, then explain its ideas in your own words. If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the unit page. A mind map can help you organise the connections between ideas. Choose a slide set that matches the topic you are revising.
Frequently asked questions
Which slides are a useful starting point for heat transfer?
IGCSE Physics Heat Transfer is a useful starting point because it brings radiation, conduction and convection together. If you want to focus on one method afterwards, the slides on infrared radiation cover how objects absorb and emit it. Both are listed on this page.
Are these slide sets free to use?
Yes. Every slide set listed here is free to open and study without an account. A free account can also save quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The resources were made by GoConqr users.
What topics do the slides cover?
The slides cover heat transfer, particle models, specific heat capacity and gases. There are also slide sets on heating and cooling and on energy transfer by heating. The page is mostly suited to secondary-level study, with resources that mention IGCSE Physics and other school courses.
