Thermal properties of matter

Temperature measurement

• Thermometric properties = Properties changing with temperature– Color– Volume– Length– Electric resistance

• thermistor

– Electric voltage• thermocouple

You put a thermometer in a pot of hot water and record the reading. What temperature have you recorded?

A. The temperature of the water

B. The temperature of the thermometer

C. An equal average of the temperature of the water and thermometer

D. An average between water and thermometer, shifted more toward water

E. An average between water and thermometer, shifted more toward the thermometer

Pontchartrain Causeway

Lake Pontchartrain is a large shallow brackish lake bordering New Orleans to the north. A 23-mile causeway bridge is leading over the lake.

The temperatures in winter drop to about 35F, while in summer the surface temperature of the bridge easily surpasses 120F.

Estimate the length difference of this concrete causeway between winter and summer.

Behavior of gases

Consider a cylinder filled with air. A piston is slowly being pushed to the left.

Assume, the gas is in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.

When the volume of gas will become smaller, will the pressure1 increase?2 decrease?
