Resource summary
Physics 1a - Energy
Heat Radiation
Transferred by Infrared Radiation(IR)
Emitted by solids, liquid and gases
Any object can absorb or emit IR
Bigger difference between the object and surrounding
Faster Heat transfer
Emitted from surface
Can feel IR up close
Dark, matt surfaces absorb better
Than shiny, silver surfaces
Kinetic Theory
Three states of matter
Solid
Strong forces hold particles close together
Not much energy
Liquid
Weaker forces of attraction
Particles move at low speeds
Gas
Hardly any forces of attraction
Lots of energy
Give a state of matter more energy....
Solids melt
Liquids boil
Conduction of Heat
factors affecting rate of heat transfer
surface area
Mass
type of material
contact with conductor or insulator
Free electrons in metals
Smaller gaps between particles = conducts better
Better if denser
Convection
Liquids and gases only
Solid particles can't move so no convection
Energetic particals move from hotter region to colder region
The radiator uses convection
Condensation and Evapouration
Condensation is gas to liquid
Particles slow down
In contact with cold surfaces
Steam on a mirror
Evapouration is liquid to gas
Particles gain heat energy
Particles have to have enough energy to escape
Energy efficiency in the home
Cavity wall insulation
Loft insulation
Draught-proofing
Hot water tank jacket
thick curtains
Specific Heat Capacity
Amount of energy stuff can store
Energy = mass x SHC x temp change
units - J/kgdegreesC
Heaters have high heat capacity to store loads of energy
Energy Transfer
Energy can be transferred usefully from one form to another, stored or dissipated - but can never be created or destroyed
Efficiency of machines

Cost of Electricity
