Explain everyday applications using ideas about conduction, convection and radiation, including: (a) heating objects such as kitchen pans (b) heating a room by convection (c) measuring temperature using an infrared thermometer (d) using thermal insulation to maintain the temperature of a liquid and to reduce thermal energy transfer in buildings
Describe the process of thermal energy transfer by infrared radiation and know that it does not require a medium
Describe thermal conduction in all solids in terms of atomic or molecular lattice vibrations and also in terms of the movement of free (delocalised) electrons in metallic conductors
