Waves, Heat Transfer and Kinetic Molecular Theory Test Review

Front

What is heat?

Back

Heat is the transfer of energy between objects due to a temperature difference.

Front

What state of matter is a substance at 30 degrees to 55 degrees?

Back

Solid

Front

What do waves carry from place to place?

Back

Waves carry energy, but not matter or particles.

Front

Can light travel through a vacuum?

Back

Yes, light can travel through a vacuum, or empty space.

Front

What is reflection in terms of waves?

Back

Reflection is when a wave bounces off a surface.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is the kinetic molecular theory?

Back

The kinetic molecular theory states that matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion.

Front

How does temperature affect the motion of particles?

Back

As temperature increases, the motion of particles increases.
