Temperature, Thermometers and Scales

Temperature and Heat

TEMPERATURE
 measure of the degree of hotness or coldness
 related to the kinetic energy of the molecules in a
material
SOLID-BASED THERMOMETERS

ELECTRICITY-BASED THERMOMETERS
THERMOMETERS
 device for measuring temperature

LIQUID-BASED THERMOMETERS

GAS-BASED THERMOMETERS
0th LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

THERMODYNAMICS TEMPERATURE CONVERSION

 study of energy transformations involving heat and
mechanical work
THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM
 state of a system where there are no changes in temperature

Thermal Expansion
Thermal Expansion
 change in size (density) of an object due to change in
temperature
TEMPERATURE SCALES
 Volume Expansion
 change in length of an object due to change in temperature
Linear Expansion
 change in length of an object due to change in temperature
