Temperature Scales Calibration and Accuracy
Scientist do this to ensure the accuracy and safety of their data.
What is calibration?
The inventor of the first air thermometer.
Who was Galileo Galilei?
This principle states that all matter is made up of tiny particles.
What is the particle principle?
This type of matter is made of particles that are close together and vibrate in place.
What is solid matter?
The direction heat moves from one object to another (temperature-wise).
What is hot to cold?
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This was missing from the first air thermometer.
What is a scale?
The person who created the Fahrenheit scale
Who is Daniel Fahrenheit?
This principle states that adding heat energy makes particles move faster and spread apart.
What is the heat principle
This type of substance moves freely past each other in a random pattern, but remains close together.
What is a liquid?
The process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials.
What is conduction?
They move faster when heated, increasing the thermal energy
What are particles?
This scale is based on 0°C as the freezing point of water and 100 °C as the boiling point of water.
What is the Celsius scale?
The scientist who created the Celsius scale.
Who is Anders Celsius?
This principle states that particles are always in motion.
What is the motion principle?
What takes the shape of its container and can be compressed?
What is a gas?
This is when warm fluids rise, and cool fluids fall in a cycle.
What is convection?
A liquid or gas that moves freely
What is a fluid?
This scale is based on absolute zero, the point at which all particle motion stops.
What is the Kelvin scale?
The title of the scientist who created the Kelvin scale.
Who is Lord Kelvin?
This principle states that there are spaces between particles that change.
What is the principle of space?
What two similarities do solids and liquids have?
The both cannot be compressed, and their particples are close together.
This is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.
What is Radiation?
The total internal energy of a substance due to the motion/vibration of its particles.
What is Thermal Energy?
This scale is based on 0°F as the freezing point of salt water, 30°F/32°F as the freezing point of fresh water, and 90°F/98.6°F as the average body temperature.
What is the Fahrienhiet scale?
The birth name of Lord Kelvin
Who is William Thomson?
This theory states that all substances are made of tiny particles that are always in motion.
What is particle theory
The ability of a gas to be forced into a small container or fill a larger space.
What is a gas's ability to be compressed?
Is when two objects reach the same temperature.
What is thermal equilibrium?
The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object
What is thermal energy transfer
