A
It will Become Hotter.
2
Q
What Happens to an Object as it Becomes Hotter?
A
It will Emit More Thermal Radiation.
3
Q
Eventually, an Object will Reach a Point of Constant Temperature. What does this Mean?
A
It Means that the Object is Absorbing Radiation at the Same Rate at which it is Emitting Radiation.
4
Q
When is an Object in ‘Temperature Equilibrium’?
A
When it has Reached Constant Temperature; when it Absorbs Radiation at the Same Rate at which it Emits Radiation.
5
Q
When does the Temperature of a Body Increase?
A
The Temperature of a Body Increases when the Body Absorbs Radiation Faster than it Emits Radiation.
