• Energy transferred by direct contact• Energy flows directly from warmer object to cooler object
• Can occur within one object
• Continues until object. temperatures are equal
Convection-
Occurs in gases and liquids
Occurs in gases and liquids• Movement of large number of particles in same direction
Occurs in gases and liquids• Movement of large number of particles in same direction• Occurs due to difference in density
Occurs in gases and liquids• Movement of large number of particles in same direction• Occurs due to difference in densityCycle occurs while temperature differences exist
Radiation-
• Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves such as light, microwaves, and infrared radiation
• Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves such as light, microwaves, and infrared radiation• All objects radiate energy
