Document Summary
It describes the warmth or coldness of an object: temperature: Kelvins (k) are equivalent to celsius degrees as a temp increment. In kelvins freezing = 273 k and boiling = 373k. Infrared radiation detected by an ir camera indicates surface temperature. In medicine, malignant tumors are visible because they are growing at a rapid pace and require an increased blood supply. Low temperatures can slow down bodily functions. Most cells are destroyed if ice forms inside them. 5: thermography heat images, hypothermia low temperatures, hyperthermia high temperatures: degrees. The body cannot meet the standards of maintaining the correct body temperature regulation in extreme hot weather conditions. Cessation of cell growth occurs at 41 degrees celsius: heat: It is an internal energy transferred from one object to another due to a temperature difference. Heat is internal energy in transit, measured in joules (j) Heat flows from hotter objects to cooler objects until the thermal equilibrium is reached: specific heat capacity:
