Heat II

Heat
Heat (Q) is a transfer of thermal energy (TE) from one object to another. Heat is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction
Thermal energy transfer by molecular collisions. Wont happen without a few molecules! Conduction applet
Conduction Applet II

Convection
Thermal energy transfer by a fluid (liquid or gas). Wont happen without a fluid!
Convection in Earth

Convection Movie

Radiation
Thermal energy transfer by electromagnetic waves. Only way to transfer TE through empty space!
