Conductors and Insulators
Material that does not let heat move easily through them
What are Insulators?
What is the possible or stored energy in an object called?
Potential Energy
When a solid turns to a liquid
melting point
The transfer of heat through a liquid or gas is called?
Convection
A wave that is made up of crests and troughs
Transverse Wave
Material that allows material to move easily through them
What are conductors?
When an outside force acts upon an object with potential energy, that force turns the potential energy into kinetic energy.
How does potential energy become kinetic energy?
when a liquid turns into a solid
freezing point
Heat transferred through electromagnetic waves that move through space is called?
Radiation
Where waves change speeds through different mediums
Refraction
Plastic and rubber are good examples
What is an insulator?
when a liquid becomes a gas
boiling point
Where waves bounce off of a surface
reflection
When heat is transferred from a warm object to a cool object it is called?
Conduction
boiling point is what degrees?
100/212
where waves energy is transferred into an object
absorption
In which state of matter are molecules moving the slowest?
Solid
diffraction where waves bend around objects
diffraction
