What is the transfer of heat by conduction?
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
What is the transfer of energy as heat caused by the collision of molecules?
When molecules collide and there is a transfer of energy as heat, this is called conduction. When fluids of different temperatures transfer energy by movement, this is called convection.
Why can't heat travel from the sun by convection or conduction?
Because there are no atoms to collide with to transfer the heat energy from the sun, thus, there is no conduction. This is also the same reason that there are no convection currents in space; There are no atoms to collide with to transfer heat. Thus, the only possible way to transfer heat is by radiation.
How can heat be transferred through matter by the collisions of atoms or through space?
The transfer by collisions of atoms is called conduction. Transfer directly through space is radiationl
Why heat transfer happen?
heat transfer happens because objects that have energy, meaning vibrating atoms will bump against others and transfer the energy to the other atoms and so on. and also because things always have a tendency to have more entropy as time passes.
How can heat be transferred through matter by the collision of atoms?
Since that's what heat is (the motion of atoms), how better to transfer than by random collisions? yes.
Why solids pick up heat fast as compared to air?
Heat transfer takes place due to collision in atoms (of which everything around us is mad). In solids these atoms are near to each other but in gas atoms are very very far from each other. So in case of solids, it is easier to transfer the heat in form of collisions but in air it is difficult to transfer these collisions. Note: Heat is transferred in form of collisions because heat increases speed of atoms. This speed when transferred to adjacent atoms by collisions, transfers the heat.
The transfer of energy that occurs when molecules collide?
Conduction:The transfer of energy by collusions between the atoms and molecules in a material. So conduction But others think its heat because heats deffinition is Heat: A transfer of energy from an object to another due to a difference in temperature.
What is the transfer of heat by conduction?
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
What is the transfer of heat through a material by the collision of particles?
"conduction"
What is the basic theory of heat transfer?
Heat transfer occurs by convection, conduction and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through collision of rapidly moving molecules. It is only through successive collision of molecules that heat transfers through an object.
When rapidly vibrating atoms collide with slowly vibrating atoms causing a transfer of heat?
Heat

How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?
By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.
What is the transfer of heat by direct contact of atoms and molecules called?
Cats.
