Back

Heat flows from object A to object B.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials.

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state reached when two objects in contact have the same temperature and no heat flows between them.
