Heat is a form of energy that can be studied through the thermal agitation of the molecules that a material involves. When heat is delivered to a body, its temperature increases, the mobility of its molecules increases. In this way, the system is not in thermal equilibrium: the temperature at each point of the body is different and the variations over time.
There are three forms of heat transmission: conduction, convection and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred only because of molecular movement and shocks between fast and slow molecules, without displacement of matter. Convection is due to the global movement of matter and is only important in liquids and gases. Radiation is an electromagnetic interaction between bodies and does not require the existence of a material means to transmit heat from one to another. The conduction of heat in a medium can be more or less favorable according to the material.
Since the speed is constant, acceleration is zero hence the net force will be given by the product of mass, coefficient of friction and acceleration due to gravity
In order from shortest to longest frequency, the electromagnetic waves can be ranked :
1. X-rays
2. Ultraviolet
3. Infrared
4. Microwave
X-rays has the shortest frequency which ranges between 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz. X-rays have the smallest wavelengths at 0.01-10 nanometers. Its energy ranges between 100eV to 100keV.
