The last (& most interesting) part of thermo!
- Internal Energy
- First Law of Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamic Changes
Here we go!

PHY C12: Specific Latent Heat
Let’s look at phase changes!
- Phase changes
- Specific Latent Heat
- Fusion vs Vaporisation
- Determining L
PHY C12: Thermal Energy & Thermal Capacity
A long one (but important in introducing ourselves to the concept of heat):
- Thermal Energy
- Thermodynamic Processes
- Thermal Capacity
- Specific Heat Capacity
- Calculating c
- Applications
PHY C11: Temperature
This one is mainly definitions & measurements:
- What is Temperature?
- Thermometers
- Thermometric Substances
- Thermometric Properties
- Empirical Calibration of a Thermometer
- Absolute Scale / Thermodynamic Scale
- Types of Thermometers
PHY C10: Ideal Gases (Microscopic View)
Now let’s look on the scale of atoms & molecules, in a more in-depth QUANTITATIVE explanation and derivation of these equations:
- Equation for Gas Pressure
- Pressure in terms of density
- Kinetic Energy of a Gas Particle
- Relationship between Kinetic Energy & Temperature
- RMS Speed of Gas Particles
This is a long & (slightly boring) one, so stay strong!

Our first peek into thermodynamics. First we will look at the BIG view of things:
- Ideal Gas Definition
- Ideal Gas Laws
- Boyle’s Law
- Charles’ Law
- Pressure Law / Gay-Lussac’s Law
- Ideal Gas Equation
- Ideal Gas Constant & Boltzmann Constant
Let’s go!
