Physical Science Temperature and Radiation EPCC Refer to your textbook Conceptual Physics, 11th edition. Read chapter 16 on heat transfer and chapter 26 (pages 458 – 461) on the electromagnetic spectrum. Define the following terms related to heat transfer: • Conduction • Convection • Radiation From your reading, explain how infrared thermometers work within three (3) sentences. More than meets the eye. Below are images of the same location, but taken at different dates from both satellite and ground level. Referring to figure 1, the top row images were taken on 05-01-2021, while the bottom row images were taken on 02-11-2021. Figure 1: (a) and (d): black and white images of the Chihuahuan Desert region on different dates taken from the GOES-17 satellite. (b) and (e): Infrared images of the same region. Note the color- coded temperature scale on the right-hand side. (c) and (f): Ground images located in the Chihuahuan Desert. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Physical Science Temperature and Radiation EPCC Questions (answer within 3 sentences): 1. Study images (b) and (e) from figure 1. How are the images different? Which one shows a cooler temperature profile? 2. What is the ground temperature around El Paso in figure 1b and figure 1e? 3. Can you tell from the black and white satellite images, shown in figures (a) and (d), that there was a temperature difference? How about in figures (c) and (f)? Why or why not? 4. Explain why there would be a temperature difference between the top and bottom rows.
