Learning objectives

  • Explain heating from higher to lower temperature until thermal equilibrium
  • Describe conduction in solids through particle vibration and mobile electrons
  • Describe convection in fluids through density changes and bulk motion
  • Explain that energy transfer by electromagnetic radiation needs no material medium
  • Explain how surface colour, texture, temperature and area affect radiation transfer rate
  • Apply conduction, convection and radiation in everyday systems
