Energy Transfer

radiation

• transfer of thermal energy by contact of particles

• transfer of thermal energy by movement of particles within matter

• transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

• temperature increases as altitude increases

This is an example of-

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

The flow of energy from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.

• heat

• temperature

• radiation

• conduction

The process by which energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object by means of physical contact
