Does Energy flow from a warmer to a colder body?
Yes
1 of 27
When Energy flows away from a warm body what happens to the temperature of the object?
It's temperature decreases
2 of 27
When the temperature of a body increases what happens to the average kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of particles increases
3 of 27
What is the formula for specific heat capacity
Energy Transfered = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Temperature change
4 of 27
What is the formula for specific latent heat
Energy Transfer = Mass x Specific Latent Heat
5 of 27
What does warm air do?
Rise
6 of 27
Cavity Wall Insulation reduces energy loss by..
Conduction and convection
7 of 27
Define Conduction
Energy is transferred due to the transfer of kinetic energy
8 of 27
Define Convection
Energy is transferred by a gas expanding when it is heated. This means it is less dense, so it rises. The unit of density is Kg/m cubed or g/cm cubed
9 of 27
What is the formula to find density?
Density = Mass/Volume
10 of 27
Define Radiation
Energy Transferred by radiation does not need a material to transfer energy. Energy can be transferred through a vacuum
11 of 27
What is the Energy Efficiency Formula
Efficiency = Useful Energy Output (x100%) DIVIDED BY Total Energy Input
12 of 27
What is the Payback Time Formula
Payback Time = Cost Of Insulation DIVIDED BY Annual Saving
13 of 27
What is the Amplitude of a wave?
Maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position
14 of 27
What is the Crest of a wave?
The highest point on a wave below its rest position
15 of 27
What is the trough of a Wave?
the lowest point on a wave below its rest position
16 of 27
What is the wavelength of wave?
the distance between two successive points on a wave having the same displacement and moving in the same direction
17 of 27
What is the frequency of a wave?
The number of complete waves passing a point in one second
18 of 27
Equation for speed of a wave?
Wave speed = Frequency x Wavelength
19 of 27
Why does refraction occur?
Because the speed of the waves decreases when the wave enters a denser medium and increases as the wave enters a less dense medium
20 of 27
Define Diffraction
Spreading out of a wave as it passes through a gap
21 of 27
What is White light made up of?
Different colours of different frequencies out of phase
22 of 27
What is a laser light?
Single frequency in phase shows low divergence.
23 of 27
When light travels from one material to another it is....
Refracted
24 of 27
If the light is passing from a denser material to a less dense one the angle of refraction is....
Larger than the angle of incidence
25 of 27
When the angle of refraction is 90 degrees Celsius the angle of incidence is called...
a critical angle
26 of 27
If the angle of incidence is bigger than critical angle the light is.....
reflected and this is called total internal reflection
