NCERT Class 11 Physics – Thermal Properties of Matter
The chapter Thermal Properties of Matter in NCERT Class 11 Physics deals with how matter responds to heat and temperature changes. It introduces temperature scales, thermal expansion, and the difference between linear, area, and volumetric expansion. Students learn about coefficient of expansion for solids, liquids, and gases, which helps in solving practical problems like the expansion of bridges, rails, and liquids in containers.
The chapter also covers heat capacity, specific heat, and calorimetry, explaining how materials absorb or release heat. Concepts like latent heat and change of state are explored, providing insight into melting, boiling, and condensation processes.
By practicing NCERT examples and exercises, students strengthen analytical skills, understand real-life applications of thermal phenomena, and prepare effectively for board exams, JEE, and NEET, making it a fundamental chapter in Class 11 Physics.
