ExpansionLet’s explore what happens to substances when we add or remove energy…P210-216 (solid, liquid, gas)Applications ie. Thermostats, cracks in pavement, liquids? Why is water unique? Expand when frozen, 40C in lakes,

ExpansionWhen particles move faster and apart and usually result in the substance getting bigger.

ContractionWhen particles move slower and get closer together making the substance get smaller.

Expansion and Contraction in Solids

• Solids can become longer or shorter depending on the temperature (average energy of the particles). • Most solids expand or contract, at

different rates, at different temperatures, depending on the type of substance.

Expansion and Contraction in Gases • When the particles in a gas are heated, their

average energy increases and they need more room, so they expand.

• When the particles in a gas are cooled their volume decreases, or contracts, because the particles need less room.

• Under extremely high temperature conditions (like the temperatures inside the Sun), particles can be split into what makes them up - electrons and ions. This creates a fourth state of matter called plasma.

YDNHTWTD

Expansion and Contraction in Liquids • When the particles in a liquid are heated,

their average energy increases and they need more room, so they expand. • When the particles in a liquid are cooled

their volume decreases, or contracts, because the particles need less room. • This is demonstrated by the liquid used

in a thermometer. As the liquid expands and contracts, it moves up and down the inside tubing ( the bore ) of the thermometer.

What about water?When most liquid particles lose energy, they get closer together and form a solid (freezing).However, when water particles lose energy, they don’t actually get closer together when they form a solid.Please click the following word to watch a video on this….Whaaat?

#1 RadiationRadiant energy travels in waves. These waves can travel through space, air, glass and many other materials.

#1 RadiationThere are different forms of EMR (electromagnetic radiation), including radio waves, microwaves, visible light and X-rays.

You do not have to draw the above diagram.

#1 RadiationIf the energy source is a warm object, like the sun, some of the thermal energy is transferred as a type of EMR called infrared radiation (IR) or ‘ heat radiation'.

#1 RadiationProperties (characteristics) of Radiant Energy

Waves of radiant energy can travel in a vacuum.

Waves of radiant energy can travel in a vacuum.

All waves travel, across empty space, at an extremely

high speed (300 Million m/s).

All waves travel, across empty space, at an extremely

high speed (300 Million m/s).

Radiant energy travels in a straight line.

Radiant energy travels in a straight line.

Radiant energy behaves like waves.

Radiant energy can be absorbed and reflected by objects.

#1 RadiationReflection occurs if the radiant

energy cannot penetrate the surface of the material it comes into contact with.

energy cannot penetrate the surface of the material it comes into contact with.

Absorption occurs if the radiant energy penetrates part way into the object.

#1 RadiationReflection occurs if the radiant

energy cannot penetrate the surface of the material it comes into contact with.

Absorption occurs if the radiant energy penetrates part way into the object.

Transmission occurs if the energy penetrates completely, passing through the object with no absorption of energy.

#1 RadiationAbsorbing / Emitting Energy

Dull, dark objects absorb radiant energy when they are cool, and emit radiant energy

when they are hot. (eg. asphalt sidewalk)Light, shiny objects or surfaces do not absorb

radiant energy readily and do not emit radiant energy readily. (eg. ice surface)

#1 RadiationAbsorbing / Emitting Energy

Radiant emission of energy from the body depends on surface area (smaller areas help to retain heat, whereas, larger areas

radiate heat).

#1 Radiation

Desert Animals Killer Whales Polar BearThe desert animals have

large ears to allow heat to escape the body readily

and light colorings to reflect most of the radiant energy away from them,

keeping them cooler.

The killer whale's fusiform body shape and reduced limb size

decreases the amount of surface area exposed to the external environment. This helps killer whales conserve

body heat.)

The polar bear’s black skin absorbs radiant

energy with transparent hair, transmitting

ultraviolet radiation to the skin.

You do not have to write down all of the above descriptions, just make note of the example.

This is evident in the adaptations of many species of animals who have successfully adapted to their environments.

#1 RadiationRadiation in the EnvironmentRadiation is a natural part of our environment. Most radiation (82%) people are exposed to, comes from natural sources. Humans have always lived on earth in the presence of radiation. Natural radiation reaches earth from outer space and continuously radiates from the rocks, soil, and water on the earth. Background radiation is that which is naturally and inevitably present in our environment. Levels of this can vary greatly. People living in granite areas or on mineralized sands receive more terrestrial radiation than others, while people living or working at high altitudes receive more cosmic radiation. By far the largest source is radon, an odorless, colorless gas given off by natural radium in the Earth's crust. Artificial radiation, mostly from medical uses and consumer products, accounts for about eighteen percent of our total exposure. The nuclear industry is responsible for less than one percent. Radiation can be detected, measured and controlled. The measurement of radiation is by the amount of radioactivity present or the amount of radiant energy given off. You do not have to write the above notes.

#2 ConductionConduction, Energy Through SolidsIn solids, where the particles are closely packed together, thermal energy can be transferred from one particle to another very easily.

#2 ConductionThermal conduction is the process of transferring thermal energy by the direct collisions of the particles. The space between the particles, in different solids, determines how quickly these collisions can take place.

#2 ConductionGood conductors are those materials where there is little space between the particles that make up the material - like most metals. Poor conductors, like glass and wood are called heat insulators. These insulators when wrapped around an object slow down the rate of thermal conduction.

#2 ConductionExamples…DiamondsHot and Cold packsCooking

#3 ConvectionConvection: the circular motion of the particles, called convection.

#3 ConvectionConvection: the circular motion of the particles, called convection. In convection, the warmer particles transfer their energy to the cooler particles as they move in a circular pattern, called a convection current.

Transfer of EnergyAll energy systems have five common features:

Energy Source - this is where the energy comes from that can be transferred throughout the energy system. The energy source can be mechanical, chemical, radiant, nuclear or electrical.

Direction of Energy Transfer - energy is always transferred away from the concentrated sources. Changes in non-living systems spread out the energy evenly.

Transformations - energy can change its form when it is transferred

Waste Heat - almost all of the energy is transferred directly from particle to particle, but some of the energy can be lost to the surroundings.

Control Systems - a control device can start and stop the transfer of energy (a thermostat in a home heating system)
