Artificial: The bulbs. WHAT IS HEAT The light we get from the Sun is called white light and it is a mixture of the seven colours that form the rainbow: Atoms and molecules movements produce energy that Red we call heat or thermic energy, which exists in all the Orange matter. Yellow Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Green The molecules in a hot body collide and move faster Blue than in a colder body. Indigo A body gets hot when it takes heat and cools down when Violet. heat releases. Heat always goes from hot bodies to colder bodies. White light decomposes into the colors of the rainbow as Clinic thermometer: it is the one we use to measure our it goes through a glass prism. body temperature. They can be liquid-filled or electronic. Light propagates: it gets to different objects even though Environment thermometer: it is the one we use to it comes from the same source. measure the temperature of the air. Usually alcohol-filled Light goes from the place it is produced to different thermometers. objects that it lights. The light bounces on the objects and gets into our eyes. CONDUCTIVE AND INSULATING MATERIALS Most objects arent luminous. We need light to be reflected on them to be able to see them. There are some materials that transmit heat easily. These are conductive materials. KINDS OF OBJECTS ACCORDING TO THE LIGHT Other materials dont let heat go through them, for example wood, plastic, glass, clothe These are heat- TRANSPARENT: We can see objects that are insulating materials. behind them; they allow all the light to pass through. Heat is the only thing that makes temperature rise or fall. TRANSLUCENT: We cannot see objects behind If we add heat, temperature rises. If we take heat away, them very clearly; they allow some light to pass temperature falls. through. There are high temperatures when molecules are OPAQUE: we cannot see objects through them; moving and vibrating quickly. they do not allow light to pass through.
HEAT EFFECT
OBJECTS TEMPERATURE CHANGES
When we take two objects with the same temperature
and we put them together there is no energy transfer between them. But, when temperature is different there will be a temperature transfer from the hottest object to the coldest until both of them get the same temperature.
OBJECTS SIZE CHANGES
With heat objects enlarge, heat causes objects to
expand. When heat doesnt affect objects they get smaller, they contract
