Thermal Physics & the Kinetic Theory
Thermal physics is the study of heat, temperature and heat transfer. It can be explained in terms of kinetic theory at the microscopic level. It helps us to capture the different phases of matter.
On completion you should:
1. be familiar with the development of the theory of heat;
2. relate macroscopic phenomena to the kinetic theory of matter;
3. have a conceptual understanding of thermal quantities and the relationship between them;
4. understand the various modes of thermal energy transfer.
