Thermal Energy on the Move
Thermal energy travels as heat from higher temperature to low temperature. 3 Ways Thermal Energy can move 1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation
1. Conduction- the transfer of energy through matter by direct contact of particles. Ex: Spoon in a pot of boiling water. The heat from the stove heats the pot which heats the water which heats the spoon.
2. Convection- the transfer of energy by the bulk movement of matter. -This happens when fluid particles move from 1 location to another, carrying energy with them. Ex: hot-air balloon
Hot water rises Cooler water sinks Cools at the surface
Radiation- the transfer of energy in the form of waves. -Does not require matter. Ex: Sun-rays -Only radiant energy that is absorbed changes to thermal energy (heat).
There are no particles between the Sun and the Earth. ? RADIATION
Promoting Thermal Energy Conductors- allow heat to move easily through them. Ex: Metals Solids Solids
Reducing Thermal Energy Insulators- do not allow heat to move easily through them. Ex: Wood Plastic Plastic Glass Glass Gas Gas
