Today, we're going to explore what heat is. Heat is a form of energy that moves from hotter to cooler objects. Can anyone tell me the SI unit of heat?

Student 1
Student 1

Is it the Joule?

Teacher
Teacher

That's correct! A Joule represents the amount of heat energy, but sometimes we also use calories. Just remember, 1 calorie is equivalent to 4.18 Joules. So, heat can be thought of as energy transfer. Who can explain how temperature relates to heat?

Student 2
Student 2

I think temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! Temperature helps us understand how energetic the particles are in a substance. Great job!

Now, let’s talk about temperature scales. The most common one is Celsius. Can anyone recall the Fahrenheit conversion formula?

Student 3
Student 3

Isn't it F = 9/5C + 32?

Teacher
Teacher

That's right! Celsius and Fahrenheit differ, and Kelvin is used in science. Remember, K = C + 273. Now, let’s dive into how we measure heat. The formula Q=mcΔT is crucial here. Who can break it down for me?

Student 4
Student 4

Q is the heat absorbed, m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Teacher
Teacher

Perfect! This formula is fundamental in understanding how much heat is needed to change a substance's temperature.

Let’s explore specific heat capacity. What does it mean when we say that water has a high specific heat capacity?

Student 1
Student 1

It means it takes a lot of energy to change its temperature, right?

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! Water's specific heat capacity is 4200 J/kg°C. Next, let’s discuss latent heat, which is the heat required to change a state without changing temperature. Can anyone give me an example?

Student 2
Student 2

Melting ice to water would be one!

Teacher
Teacher

Good example! And remember, there are two types: latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization. Keep this in mind for further discussions!

Modes of Heat Transfer

Now, let’s look into how heat transfers. There are three modes: conduction, convection, and radiation. What do you think conduction involves?

Student 3
Student 3

It's the transfer of heat through a solid without any movement of particles, right?

Teacher
Teacher

Correct! Think about a metal spoon in hot water. What about convection?

Student 4
Student 4

Convection is in fluids where warm air rises and cool air sinks.

Teacher
Teacher

Spot on! Lastly, what about radiation?

Student 1
Student 1

Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, like the Sun heating Earth!

Teacher
