ACTIVITY TITLE : FORM OF WAVE – HEAT WAVES: ITS DEFINITION AND MODES OF TRANSFER
LEARNING TARGET/S : I can define Heat Waves and infer the conditions necessary for its transfer.
REFERENCE/S : Exploring Life through Science by Josefina Ma. Pavico et. al. pp. 244 - 250
From the previous lesson, you’ve learned that there are four Forms of Wave namely Sound Waves,
Light Waves, Heat Waves and Electrical Waves. Now, in this lesson you are going to learn about the Heat
Waves.
Heat Waves or Heat is an Electromagnetic and Transvers wave. It is produced when there is a
constant vibration of particles (either atom or molecules) with one another. Heat can travel through
solids, liquids gasses or even on an empty space or vacuum.
The Particle Theory of Matter states that matter consists of many very small particles (atoms or
molecules), which are in constant motion and are held together by attractive forces. The speed by which
atoms and molecules move depends largely on the energy they contain. This energy is called Heat or Heat
Waves and is transferred of between two substances with different temperatures. Heat always travels
form the hotter to colder substance. It is expressed in the unit of joule (J). By contrast, temperature refers
to the degree of “hotness” or “coldness” of a substance and is measured using a temperature scale. The
Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K) scales are used to measure temperature. Temperature is a
measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance.
Whenever heat travels, it always travels from one substance to another that has a lower
temperature. Heat in the environment may be transferred by conduction, convection or radiation.
