    Thermal Properties of Matter Worksheet

    Uploaded by

    Sajjan Balasubramanyan
    This document contains a question bank for a physics exam, divided into 2-mark and 3-mark questions. The 2-mark questions cover topics like absolute zero, specific heat capacity, blackbody radiation, heat transfer between bodies of different temperatures, and the effects of pressure on melting points. The 3-mark questions require more detailed explanations, covering Stefan's and Wein's laws of radiation, thermal conduction, gas laws, calorimetry, heat capacities of solids and gases, coefficients of expansion, and latent heat of fusion.
