Heat Temperature
A form of energy The degree of hotness and coldness of
an object
Measured in Joule (J) Measured in degrees Celcius ( ͦC) or
Kelvin (K) [ 0 ͦ C = 273.15 K]
The amount of heat depends on the Temperature depends on the degree of
type of material, quantity of material movement of the particles in a matter
and temperature
3. Conduction
The process of heat transfer from hotter regions to colder regions through a solid
medium
The particles that receive heat energy will vibrate and collide with one another
more frequently and transfer the heat to the whole medium
Explaination:
i. When one end of a metal rod is heated by a Bunsen flame, the particles of
the metal rod near the flame get extra heat energy from the flame.
ii. The particles vibrate more vigorously, knocking into neighbours particles
and transferring energy to them
iii. The neighbouring particles, in turn, knock their neighbours and pass energy
to them.

iv. Thumbtack K drops first followed by thumbtack L and thumbtack M.
v. This shows that heat is carried along the Copper rod from hot end to the
cold end.
4. Convection
The process of heat transferred by the movement of fluid (liquid and gas) from
hotter regions to colder regions
Explaination:
The part of the fluid that receives heat will expand, become less dense and rise.
The colder and more dense fluid moves downwards.
The circulating stream that rises and falls continuously is known as convection
current
The purple particles of Potassium permanganate that receive heat will expand,
become less dense and rise.
5. Radiation
The process of transferring heat without any medium
Heat can propagate through an empty space or vacuum
The types of surface, temperature and total surface area of an object will
influence the rate of heat flow
Example: warming of the Earth by the Sun
Explaination:
Air in the bell jar has been removed and the bell jar has become a vacuum
Eventhough the bell jar has become a vacuum, heat can be felt when you
touched the bell jar
NanadhirahKamarudin
This shows that heat can be transferred through vacuum.
A. SEA BREEZE
B. LAND BREEZE

3. The warmer air above the sea becomes less dense and rises
4. Cool air from the land moves in to take its place
5. The convection current that forms is known as land breeze
9. Thermal equilibrium
i) Two objects which are in thermal contact can transfer heat energy
between them.
ii) The heat energy is transferred from the object with higher temperature to
the object with lower temperature
iii) When there is no net transfer of heat energy between objects, the objects
are said to be in thermal equilibrium.
iv) Two objects that are in thermal equilibrium has the same temperature
1. Expansion of solid
The particles in a solid vibrate at a fixed position.
NanadhirahKamarudin
When the solid is heated, the particles vibrate faster and move further
apart from one another
This causes the volume of the solid to increase because the solid
expands
2. Contraction of solid
When solid is cooled, the particles vibrate slower and move closer to
one another
This causes the volume of solid to decrease because the solid
contracts
NanadhirahKamarudin
A bimetallic strip is made of two different metal strip such as copper and iron
Copper expands faster than iron when heated
The forces that arise due to an equal expansion of the two metals cause the
bimetallic strip to bend
Bimetallic strips are used as automated switches in fire alarms and as
thermostats in electrical appliances such as iron, air conditioner, rice cookers
and refrigerators to keep the temperature in these appliances constant.
9.4 Relationship between types of surface of object, and heat absorption and emission
The ability of an object to absorb and radiate heat depends on the type and
colour of its surface.
When an object absorbs heat, its temperature increase
However, when object radiates heat, its temperature decreases
NanadhirahKamarudin
2. White and shiny objects:
a) Poor absorber and poor radiator of heat
b) Reflects heat better than dark and dull object
