The Principles of Heat, Light, and Sound
Heat
The movement of heat is from…
Hot Cold
Heat is transferred three
ways…Conduction Convectio
nRadiation
The first form of heat transfer is…
Conduction
Conduction is heat transferred by
contact.

University of Virginia Physics Department
What stops heat transfer?
An Insulator.
Examples…
The second form of heat transfer is…
Convection
Hot rises, cold falls creating
currents.

Examples of convection
The third form of heat transfer is…
Radiation
Radiation is heat as an electromagnetic wave.
The wave becomes heat when it hits an object.
Examples of radiation
Light
Sources of light…
A light source produces
light.
What happens when light hits an object?
The light is reflected off the object.
We see things because of reflected light.We see red, because red light is reflected; blue because blue is reflected; white because all light is reflected.
We see ourselves in a mirror because of reflection.
The light that hits an object is called the angle of incidence.The light that bounces off the object is called the angle of reflection.
Angle of incidence =
Angle of reflection
Molecular Expressions
When light passes thru transparent objects (water, glass, etc.), the light is refracted (bent).
When light passes thru water, it’s refracted.

When light travels thru a prism, the refraction forms the spectrum.

The spectrum is the colors of the rainbow…

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet (ROY G. BIV).

Three things can happen when light hits an object.
If the object is transparent, it will pass through it.
If the object is translucent, light is diffused as it passes through it.

If the object is opaque, the light will not pass thru the object and is reflected.
Sound
Sound is caused by vibrations.
Sound moves out in every direction.
To have sound, you must have a medium.
If there is no medium, there is no sound.
A property of sound is pitch.Pitch is how high or low a sound is.
How much energy is used determines the volume (how loud) of the sound.
A lot of energy – a loud sound.
A little energy – a soft sound.
