Conduction Convection Radiation Flashcards
What is an insulator
Doesn’t allow heat energy to pass thorough
What is conduction
Conduction is when the heat energy travels through a solid
What is a conductor
They are objects that let heat pass through them
What is convection
When heat energy travels through a liquid or a gas
Eg. Water in a kettle
What is infra red radiation
All objects give out and take in thermal radiation, which is also called infrared radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits.

Most conductive to least conductive
Most: Solid metals Solid non metals Liquid Gasses Least:Vacuum
Is gas a poor conductor
Yep
Convection-
Conduction-
Radiation-
Convection- gas and liquid
Conduction- solids
Radiation- doesn’t need a substance
What is radiation
I can be a solid liquid or gas
No substance is needed
It can travel through any material, even a vacuum
When a temperature of an object increases, what energy do they gain
Kinetic
House heating
Most heat is lost
Least heat is lost
Most heat is lost through... Wall Floor Roof Window Door Least heat is lost through...
Are liquids and gasses poor conductors
Yes
Because particles are further away from each other
Radiation can happen in a….
Vacuum
