Concept explainers

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 3C

The rate at which solar wind particles enter the atmosphere is higher during the day than at night, yet the intensity of the auroral emissions remains high well after the Sun has set. Can you suggest a means by which the atmospheric molecules might be able to radiate long after the period of collisions with charged particles has ended? (Hint: How long does it take a typical atom to radiate from a normal allowed energy state? How could this time be lengthened?)
