describe what temperature is?
temperature is a description of hot or cold something is measured in degrese celcius.
what is energy measured in
energy is measured in jouls(J)
what is conduction?
conduction is the movment of the thermal energy in a solid.
how does a material expand
the increase in vibrations (kinetic heat) causes the particles to spread out (expand)
what are convection currents?
covection currents Are heat-driven cycles that move energy from one location to another.
name a few good insulator’s
air,glass,paper,oil,water
are particles reqired for infrared radiation?
no
what are convection currents?
they Are heat-driven cycles that move energy from one location to another.
covection currents occur in?
Occur in gases and liquids due to temperature differences.
