Notes of Heat Flow and Temperature (2)

The document provides definitions and explanations of key concepts related to heat flow and temperature, including Celsius scale, conduction, convection, and the properties of conductors and insulators. It discusses practical applications such as the reasons for using metals in cooking vessels, the benefits of wearing layers in winter, and the effects of color on heat absorption in homes. Additionally, it compares laboratory and clinical thermometers and includes activities and diagrams for further understanding.

Notes of heat flow and temperature

1. Define the following.


1. Celsius scale- The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale, is a
temperature scale based on 0o for the freezing point of water and 100o for the boiling point
of water.
2. Conduction- The process of transferring of heat from the hotter end to the colder
end of an object is known as conduction.
3. Conductors- Materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily.
4. Convection: The method of transferring heat by the movement of the particles of
substance away from the source of heat is known as convection.
5. Heat energy- Heat energy can be transferred by one substance to another and the
flow because of the temperature difference between two objects is known as heat. .
6. Insulator: The materials which do not allow heat to pass through them easily are poor
conductors of heat such as plastic and wood. Poor conductors are known as insulators
7. Land breeze- The land gets heated up by the heat radiated by the sun, much faster
than the water during daytime. This heats up the air over the land and it expands and hence
the hot air rises up and creates a vacuum. ... And hence the cool air moves from the land to
the sea and is known as the land breeze.
8.Sea breeze- The land gets heated up by the heat radiated by the sun, much faster
than the water during daytime. ... The warm air from the land moves towards the sea to
complete the cycle. The air from the sea is called the sea breeze.

9.Radiation- Radiation is the process of transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold
body without affecting the medium.Sep 24, 2015

10.Radiant heat- A hot body emits energy. The energy emitted by a hot body in the
form of radiation, by virtue of its temperature, is called thermal radiation. Radiation

11.Temperature- emperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a place or a


body.

12.Thermo meter- Thermometer is a device which is used to measure temperature


II Give reason
1.Cooking vessels are made of metals so that they can
absorb heat energy and transfer It to the food.
2.Mercury is used as a thermometric liquid as it is a good
conductor of heat.
3.Birds puff up their feathers in winter because by doing so they
trap a large amount of air in their body which in turn acts as an insulator and does not allow the
heat from their bodies to flow out.

4.Mud houses with thatched roofs keep cool in summer


because thatched toof contains a large amount of trapped air which is bad conductor of
heat. Hence heat from outside does not flow in thatched roof house. Thus they remain cool in
summer.

5.Tea stays hot for a longer time in a shiny pot because A


shiny pot on the other hand absorbs less and hence emits less heat energy.

6.It is comfortable to wear white clothes in summer


because light coloured clothes reflect maximum amount of heat they receive and makes
us feel cool to some extent and hence we feel more comfortable wearing them in the summer.

III.Activity
1.Actiity 4.6
2. Activity 4.8
3. Activity 4.10
(After explaining students can write by themselves with
aim , ,materials needed, procedure and observation )
IV.Answer the following.
Q.1. State similarities and differences between the laboratory thermometer and the clinical
thermometer.
Ans. Similarities:
(i) Both thermometers consist of long narrow uniform glass tubes.
(ii) Both have a bulb at one end.
(iii) Both contain mercury in bulb.
(iv) Both use Celsius scale on the glass tube.
Differences:
(i) A clinical thermometer reads temperature 35°C to 45°C while the range of laboratory
thermometer is -10°C to 110°C.
(ii) Clinical thermometer has a kink near the bulb while there is no kink in the laboratory
thermometer.
Due to kink mercury does not fall down on its own in clinical thermometer.

2. Give two examples each of conductors and insulators of heat.


Ans. Conductors—aluminium, iron Insulators—plastic, wood.

3. Discuss why wearing more layers of clothing during winter keeps us warmer than wearing just
one thick piece of clothing?
Ans.More layers of clothing keep us warm in winters as they have a lot of space between them. This
space gets filled up with air. Air is a bad conductor, it does not allow the body heat to escape out.

4. In places of hot climate it is advised that the outer walls of houses be painted white. Explain.
Ans.In places of hot climate it is advised that the outer wall of houses be painted white because
white colour reflects heat and the houses do not heat up too much

V. Conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit to Celsius (one they can copy from the slide)
and more examples can be given by us.
