Conduction, Convection, RAdiation

?
Conduction
Heat moves from a hot object to a cold object. Conduction is the movement of this energy
1 of 6
Good Conductors
Metals as they have a free electrons. and are closely packed so vibrate a lot.
2 of 6
Convection
Transfer of energy through liquids or gases.
3 of 6
Convection Currents
Air warms up due to conduction, the sair expands and becomes less dense and rises, as the air cools it sinks
4 of 6
Radiation
Radiation is the transfer of energy through Infrared Waves
5 of 6
Infrared waves
Travel through a vacuum, Travel at the speed of light, Can be reflected and absorbed.
