  • Physics P1 - Heat Transfer
    • 3 ways to transfer heat energy
      • Radiation
        • Infrared radiation can be emitted by solids, liquids and gases
      • Conduction
        • The main form of heat transfer in solids
      • Convection
        • The main form of heat transfer in liquids and gases
    • Infrared Radiation
      • Emitted from the surface of an object
      • The hotter an object is, the more radiation it radiates in a given time
    • Conduction of Heat
      • Conduction of heat energy is the process where vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles
      • Usually conduction is faster in denser solids because the particles are closer together and so will collide more often and pass energy between them.
