Conduction and Radaiton Flashcards
1
Q
What must happen for conduction
A
the source must be in contact with the sink
2
Q
the bigger the difference ….
A
the faster the temperature changes
3
Q
what happens during conduction
A
when heat transfers through a series of collisions
4
Q
metals are…. Styrofoam is…
A
good condcutors ===== bad conductors because of lots of air

fastest speed in universe
9
Q
longer waves =
A
slower particles
