This course describes the idea that energy at the molecular level determines the physical state of the material and that the molecular structure of the material in that state determines its physical properties. Topics covered are phases of matter, deformation of solids, thermometry, heat transfer, black body radiation, Stefan’s law, Wien’s displacement law, thermal properties of material, laws of ideal gases, average translational kinetic energy of a molecule, and the laws of thermodynamics.
