RECALL
of energy
Energy can be transformed into other types of energy and energy can be transferred from one location to another.
how is energy transferred
Energy is transferred from one location to another by waves
3 examples of energy transfer
radiation, convection, conduction
What is conduction?
Conduction is a method of energy transfer that occurs mainly in solids and fluids
Some substances conduct heat very well
conductors
Some substances conduct heat poorly
Insulators
where is energy transferred to?
What does it do?
Heat energy is transferred from hot substances to the cold substance. Heat transfer continue until both materials reach the same temperature
What is radiation?
radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles
What is thermal radiation?
Thermal radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves.
What objects emit thermal radiation?
All objects with temperatures above absolute zero emit “thermal radiation”. This radiation is usually invisible to us unless the object is very hot.
