Physics Questions

Convection is by far the most efficient and common way for heat to be transferred through liquids and gases. It occurs when some regions of a fluid get hotter than others, causing currents in the fluid that move it around to distribute that heat more evenly.

Acceleration is nothing but the rate at which velocity changes over time.

The watt-hour (WH) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time.

1 WH = 3600 joules.

An ideal gas cannot be liquified because forces between the molecules are negligible.

Infrared radiation, what we experience as heat when we hold our hand near a warm object, is somewhat longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Visible wavelengths range from 0.0007 milimeters for red light, through orange, yellow, green, and blue, to 0.0004 milimeters for violet light. Ultraviolet is shorter wavelengths than violet.

Longer the wavelength,lower the energy
