What is heat radiation?
the transfer of heat energy by Infrared radiation
Which 2 ways involve the transfer of energy by particles?

Convection
Infrared radiation can be emitted by___ ___ ___
Solids
Liquids
Gases
An object can both ___ and ___ infrared radiation
Absorb
Emit
The bigger the temperature difference between a body and its surroundings the ___
Faster energy is transferred by heating
When you heat a substance you give particles more___
Kinetic energy
What is conduction of heat energy?
Vibrating particles pass energy to others transferring heat
Why do metals conduct so well?
Free electrons
What is convection?
Energetic particles move from the hotter regions to the cooler ones and take their heat energy with them
What are convection currents?
Changes in density
Steps in a convection current?
Particles spread and water/air expands
hot water/air rises because less dense
fast particles collide with slow transferring heat
cool water/air falls because now more dense
