energy per molecule. The infrared radiation coming energy per molecule. The infrared radiation coming
from the air canal in the ear passes through the optical from the air canal in the ear passes through the optical

Objectives: After finishing Objectives: After finishing
this unit, you should be able this unit, you should be able
to:to:
•Work with Celsius, Kelvin, and
Fahrenheit temperature scales for
both specific temperatures and
temperature intervals.
•Write and apply
formulas for linear,
area, and volume
expansion.
Thermal EnergyThermal Energy
Thermal energyThermal energy is the total internal energy of an object: is the total internal energy of an object:
the sum of its molecular kinetic and potential energies.the sum of its molecular kinetic and potential energies.
Thermal energy = U + K
U = ½kx

K = ½mv

Internal energy -- spring analogies are helpful:
TemperatureTemperature
Temperature is related to the kinetic activity
of the molecules, whereas expansion and
phase changes of substances are more
related to potential energy.

Although not true in all cases, a good
beginning is to define temperature as the
average kinetic energy per molecule.
Temperature vs. Internal EnergyTemperature vs. Internal Energy
The large pitcher and
the small one have
the same temperature,
but they do not have
the same thermal
energy. A larger
quantity of hot water
melts more of the ice.
Temperature EquilibriumTemperature Equilibrium
Heat is defined as the
transfer of thermal energy
that is due to a difference
in temperature.

Thermal Equilibrium
Insulated
Container
Two objects are in
thermal equilibrium if
and only if they have the
same temperature.
ThermometerThermometer
A thermometer is any
device which, through
marked scales, can give an
indication of its own
temperature.
T = kX
X is thermometric property: Expansion, electric
resistance, light wavelength, etc.
