temperature

     

Temperature is a physical property of a system that unerlies the common notions of hot and cold; something that is hotter generally has the greater temperature. Specifically, temperature is a property of matter. Temperature is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. On the microscopic scale, temperature is defined as the average energy of microscopic motions of a single particle in the system per degree of freedom. On the macroscopic scale, temperature is the unique physical property that determines the direction of heat flow between two objects placed in thermal contact. If no heat flow occurs, the two objects have the same temperature; otherwise heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object. These two basic principles are stated in the zeroth law and second law of thermodynamics, respectively. For a solid, these microscopic motions are principally the vibrations of its atoms about their sites in the solid. For an ideal monatomic gas, the microscopic motions are the translational motions of the constituent gas particles. For a multiatomic gas, vibrational and rotational motion should be included too.

Trivia about temperature

  • When you hear the snowy tree cricket, count the chirps in 15 seconds & add 40 to get this
  • Nitrides of boron & silicon are used to make crucibles because they are stable when this is high
  • Charles' Law says that the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to this
  • The Kelvin is the base unit for this, though most people use degrees
  • Josef Stefan heated up physics by showing that radiation from a glowing wire was proportional to this
  • It decreases for the first 6 miles of the atmosphere, then goes way up, way down & finally up again around 55 miles high
  • Along with pressure & elevation, breezes are mainly caused by differences in this between adjacent areas
  • This can be estimated by adding 40 to the number of a snowy tree cricket's chirps in a 15-second period
  • (Hi, I'm astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.) The entire universe acts in many ways like a gas in a laboratory, so we conclude that as the universe expands, this will drop continuously as it approaches absolute zero
  • The shape of a snowflake is determined by 2 things in the cloud it's formed in: the moisture content & this
