2 Thermal physics
2.1 Simple kinetic molecular model of matter
2.1.1 States of matter
Core
t State the distinguishing properties of solids,
liquids and gases
2.1.3 Evaporation
Core Supplement
t Describe evaporation in terms of the escape t Demonstrate an understanding of how
of more-energetic molecules from the temperature, surface area and draught over a
surface of a liquid surface influence evaporation
t Relate evaporation to the consequent cooling t Explain the cooling of a body in contact with
of the liquid an evaporating liquid
2.3.2 Convection
Core
t Recognise convection as an important
method of thermal transfer in fluids
t Relate convection in fluids to density changes
and describe experiments to illustrate
convection
2.3.3 Radiation
Core Supplement
t Identify infra-red radiation as part of the t Describe experiments to show the properties
electromagnetic spectrum of good and bad emitters and good and bad
t Recognise that thermal energy transfer by absorbers of infra-red radiation
radiation does not require a medium
t Describe the effect of surface colour (black t Show understanding that the amount of
or white) and texture (dull or shiny) on radiation emitted also depends on the surface
the emission, absorption and reflection of temperature and surface area of a body
radiation
