Notes on Heat
Woollen clothes are obtained from animal fibres. Woollen clothes are generally dark in colour and are worn in the winter season as they protect us from the cold environment.
Cotton clothes are obtained from the plant fibres. The cotton clothes are generally light in colour and are worn in summer season so that we can feel cool.
Hot and Cold
We can understand if an object is hot or cold by the sense of touch. However, it can trick us sometimes. Therefore, we use a thermometer.
The temperature of an object: It is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object.
Thermometer: It is a device that can be used to find out how hot an object is. In other words, we use a thermometer to measure the temperature of an object.
Measuring the temperature of an object using a thermometer
Clinical thermometer
It is a device that is used to measure the body temperature of a person.
It is made up of a glass tube of uniform thickness.
The glass tube contains a bulb at one end which is filled with Mercury.
The Mercury level in the thermometer rises up in the thread-like portion of the thermometer which therefore indicates the temperature of the body.
The level of the Mercury can be measured by reading the scale given on the thermometer.
The scale of the thermometer records the temperature in degree Celsius, generally, 35o C to 45o C, which is the range of human body temperature.
On an average, the temperature of the human body is around 37o C.
The clinical thermometer has a small sharp curve (kink) present near the bulb. This prevents the Mercury level from falling down on its own in the thermometer.
Laboratory thermometer
The laboratory thermometer is used to find out the temperature of the other objects such as water rather than human body temperature. It can measure the temperature from -10o C to 110o C.
Other types of thermometers
Minimum-maximum thermometer: It is a thermometer used to measure the minimum and maximum temperature of the day by weather forecasters.
Digital thermometer
The transfer of heat
The flow of heat always takes place from and hot object to a cold object.
Conduction: The process of flow of heat from a hot object to a cold object is called Conduction. Some objects can conduct heat while others cannot.
Conduction
Conductors: The objects that can allow the heat to flow through them are called Conductors. For Example, metals such as copper
Conductors
Insulators: The objects that do not allow the flow of heat from them are called Insulators. For Example, Wood and Plastic.
Insulators
Convection: The transfer of heat in liquids and gases is called Convection. The molecules of the liquid or gases that are near the source of the heat get heated first. They become lighter due to the heat and move upwards. The colder particles being heavier take the place and this process continues until the whole liquid or the gas gets heated. That is why the area above the flame of a candle always feels hot but the area on the sides of the candle does not.
Convection
Radiation: It is a process of transfer of heat in the form of waves. For Example, the sun's heat reaches the Earth’s surface through radiation. Every hot object radiates some heat into the environment. Hence, many times an object gets heated just by being near to a hot object.
Sea Breeze and Land Breeze
The wind blowing from the sea towards the land is called Sea Breeze.
During the daytime, the land in the coastal area gets heated due to the sun's radiation.
The sea also gets heated, however it takes more time to get heated up than the land.
Hence the air above the land gets heated faster than the air above the sea.
The hot air from the land rises above as it is lighter and the cool air from the sea being heavier takes its place. This results in the sea breeze.
Land Breeze
The wind blowing from the land towards the sea is called the land breeze.
During the night time, the land in the coastal areas gets cool down faster than the sea. The air above the sea is hotter than the air above the land.
Therefore the air above the sea rises and the air from the land being cool flows towards the sea. This results in the land breeze.
