This topic covers “Thermal Physics” of O Level Physics. (Equivalent to American high school diploma) If this is too basic for you, you can try the more advanced version here. Thermal Physics for O Level is split into several sub-topics. There is a quiz for Thermal Physics which is located here.
Measurement Of Temperature:
- Thermometry
- Thermometric properties
- Defining a temperature scale
- Laboratory thermometer
- Clinical Thermometer
- Maximum Thermometer
- Minimum Thermometer
Simple Kinetic Theory Of Matter:
Heat Capacity:
Melting & Boiling:
- Change Of State
- Melting and solidification
- Boiling and condensation
- Evaporation
- Differences between boiling and evaporation
- Specific latent heat
Describe how a thermal flask is able to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold and also how heat loss is minimised in a vaccum flask?
1. Insulated stopper → reduces conduction & convection
2. Double-walled container with a vacuum gap between walls → reduces conduction & convection
3. Walls with silvery surfaces → reduces thermal radiation
