ACSCH109

Fuel cells can use metal nanoparticles as catalysts to improve the efficiency of energy production

ACSES045

Processes within and between Earth systems require energy that originates either from the sun or the interior of Earth

ACSES046

Thermal and light energy from the Sun drives important Earth processes including evaporation and photosynthesis

ACSES054

The availability of energy and matter are one of the main determinants of ecosystem carrying capacity; that is, the number of organisms that can be supported in an ecosystem

ACSES055

Biogeochemical cycling of matter, including nitrogen and phosphorus, involves the transfer and transformation of energy between the biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere

ACSES075

Extraction of mineral and energy resources influences interactions between the abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems, including hydrologic systems

ACSPH022

Two systems in contact transfer energy between particles so that eventually the systems reach the same temperature; that is, they are in thermal equilibrium

ACSPH035

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which light nuclides combine to form a heavier nuclide, with the release of energy

ACSPH070

Mechanical waves transfer energy through a medium; mechanical waves may oscillate the medium or oscillate the pressure within the medium

ACSPH073

A mechanical system resonates when it is driven at one of its natural frequencies of oscillation; energy is transferred efficiently into systems under these conditions

ACSPH111

Conservation of energy, expressed as Lenz’s Law of electromagnetic induction, is used to determine the direction of induced current

ACSPH135

Atomic phenomena and the interaction of light with matter indicate that states of matter and energy are quantised into discrete values

ACSPH146

High-energy particle accelerators are used to test theories of particle physics including the Standard Model

Unit 1: Chemical fundamentals: structure, properties and reactions Chemistry

Chemists design and produce a vast range of materials for many purposes, including for fuels, cosmetics, building materials and pharmaceuticals. As the science of chemistry has developed over time, there has been an increasing realisation that the properties …

ACSPH139

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom integrates light quanta and atomic energy states to explain the specific wavelengths in the hydrogen spectrum and in the spectra of other simple atoms; the Bohr model enables line spectra to be correlated with atomic …
