PAL # 11 Doppler b)Detector toward, Source toward: f’ = f ( v+v D / v-v S ) for v D = 3 m/s, f’ higher d) Detector away, Source toward: f’ = f ( v-v D / v-v S ) for v D = 3 m/s, f’=f c) Detector away, Source away: f’ = f ( v-v D / v+v S ) for v D = 3 m/s, f’ lower e) Detector toward, Source away: f’ = f ( v+v D / v+v S ) for v D = 3 m/s, f’=f

Thermodynamics Thermodynamics deals with the internal energy of a system We will examine how this internal energy changes due to changes in heat and work One of the important concepts in thermodynamics is temperature How do we experience temperature?
4
Thermoscope Changes in temperature cause changes in other properties We can measure these changes to construct a thermoscope, a device to record changes in temperature The oven is at a higher temperature than the refrigerator Temperature changes are caused by an exchange of heat
5
A Thermoscope
6
Thermal Equilibrium When the thermoscope stops changing, it and the water are in thermal equilibrium If we move the thermoscope to a different cup and it reads the same value we know that it and the second cup are also in thermal equilibrium
7
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics What happens if we pour the two cups together? The cups are in thermodynamic equilibrium with each other If two objects are each in thermal equilibrium with a third object then they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other
8
How Thermal Equilibrium Works
9
Thermometers In order for a thermoscope to be a thermometer if needs to be calibrated For example, the Celsius scale Them put the tube in boiling water and mark that mercury level “100” You now have a Celsius thermometer
10
The Kelvin Scale The Kelvin scale is designed so that 0 K is at absolute zero and that 273.15 K is at the freezing point of water T C = T K -273.15
11
The Triple Point of Water The triple point of water is the only temperature where water can exist in liquid, solid and gas forms simultaneously
12
Converting Temperatures A temperature change of 5 Celsius degrees is equal to a temperature change of 9 Fahrenheit degrees
13
Temperature Scales Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer in 1714 Anders Celsius introduced his scale is 1742 William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, determined from theory that minus 273.15 degrees Celsius is the coldest it can get
14
Three Temperature Scales
15
What’s Hot, What’s Not
16
Thermal Expansion Some objects expand more than others when heated The degree of expansion depends on the change in temperature and the coefficient of expansion
17
Thermal Expansion of Ruler
18
Linear Expansion The degree to which the length of an object changes is given by: L = L T This applies to all dimensions of a solid length, width and height Two strips of metal with different coefficients of linear expansion attached together This principle is used in dial thermometers and thermostats
19
Bimetal Strip
20
Volume Expansion If the linear dimensions of a solid change then the volume must change: Where =3 Density in general decreases with increasing temperature
21
Temperature and Heat Temperature is a measure of the internal (thermal) energy of a system Heat (Q) is energy transferred between systems due to a temperature difference Heat can manifest itself in different ways Being “hot” does not mean you have a lot of “heat”
22
Heat The rate of heat exchange depends on the temperature difference Run warm water over your hands after being outside on a cold day and the water feels hot You feel hot on a hot day because your body generates heat and can’t get rid of it quickly enough
23
What is Heat?
24
Heat Units Heat is a form of energy and so its SI unit is the joule (kg m 2 /s 2 ) A joule is fairly small so sometimes the kilojoule (kJ) is used 1 calorie is the heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 deg C
