Scatter: Thermometry

Temperature
A measurement of the degree of the average molecular kinetic energy of a body
Thermometry
The measurement of the temperature of a body
Heat
A type of energy which flows between two bodies due to a temperature gradient
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
If A is in thermal equilibrium with C and B is in thermal equilibrium with C, then A & B are also in thermal equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium
When 2 bodies are in thermal contact but there is no NET transfer of heat between them
Heat reservoir
A system which is able to receive or lose any amount of heat without a change in temperature
Application of the Zeroth law
Temperature measurements (thermometry)
Thermal contact
When 2 bodies are in contact such that heat is able to flow from one to another
