Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Thermal Properties of Matter after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Conduction occurs in solids without particle movement.
  • Convection involves actual movement of fluid particles.
  • Radiation travels as electromagnetic waves and needs no medium.
  • Thermal conductivity (K) determines how fast heat flows through a material.
  • Metals have high K; insulators have low K.
  • The SI unit of K is W/m·K.
  • Convection occurs only in liquids and gases.
  • It involves physical movement of fluid particles.
  • Convection currents help in uniform heating of fluids.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature are the same thing.

Black bodies are black in color and only absorb heat, they don’t emit.

Thermal conductivity (K) depends on the size or shape of the object.

Memory Tips

Three modes of heat transfer: Conduction, Convection, Radiation

Conduction: heat transfer without particle movement

Thermal conductivity (K) definition

High K metals: Copper, Aluminium
