What are the 3 types of heat transfers?
Infra-red radiation, conduction and convection
1 of 13
In what state(s) of matter does infra-red radiation occur in?
Solids, liquids and gasses
2 of 13

In what appearance does an object absorb Infra-red radiation better?
Matt, black
7 of 13
What happens during conduction?
In solids electrons are free to move, the heat will make the electrons move faster and collide with eachother -transferring energy- making the whole object hot
8 of 13
How does a convection current occur?
As the liquid/ gas heats it gets less dense, making it rise, fast-moving particles collide with slow-moving particles and transfer heat
9 of 13
What changes/ into what in condensation?
Gas turns to a liquid (water vapour- water)
10 of 13
What changes/ into what in evaporation?
Liquid turns into a gas (boiling water- steam)

What does the rate at which an object transfers energy by heating depend on?
1. The surface area and volume 2. The material from which the object is made 3. The nature of the surface with which the object is in contact

What is the statement explaining the rate at which energy is transferred by heat?
The bigger the temperature difference between an object and it's surroundings, the faster the rate at which energy is transferred by heating
