Q

What is a light and sound pathway?

A

When light or sound carries energy from one place to another

17
Q

What is conduction?

A

An object is heated the particles start to vibrate more. particles pass heat to each other by knocking into each other. This process can only happen when the objects are touching.

18
Q

What is radiation?

A

All objects radiate invisible waves. The hotter an object is the more energy it radiates. They do not have to be touching.

19
Q

What is an insulator?

A

an insulator transfers heat slowly. e.g. plastic
