  • What is the definition of density?

    How much mass is in a given volume
  • How can you reduce conduction?
    -Use a vacuum (no particles => no conduction)
    -trapped air as it is a bad conductor e.g double glazing, vacuum flasks, clothes/duvet
  • What are the properties of liquids?
    -particles are still touching but can move around
    -can be poured
    -takes the shape of a container
    -cannot be compressed
  • The higher the thermal conductivity of a material... the higher the rate of energy transfer by conduction across the material.
  • What do we use to see infrared?
    thermal image cameras
