Which term defines something that doesnt transfer thermal energy efficiently?
An insulator
Which term defines something that does not transfer thermal energy efficiently?
conductor
What terms defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently?
Something that transfers thermal energy efficiently is called a conductor.
Which term defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently?
Heat transfers thermal energy efficiently from one source to another. The movement of particles when heated results in this efficiency.
What is the thermal energy transfer?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
What energies can thermal energy transfer into?
one energy that thermal energy can transfer into is radiation energy. It can transfer into that because of the electromagnetic waves.
What energy is the thermal energy?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
What is transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another?
This is heating and cooling. Direct transfer from one solid to another is conduction. Transferring through fluids (liquids or gases) normally uses convection. and heat being projected through a space, usually as light or infra-red, is radiation.Heat is the term that defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently.
Why is conduction faster in metals?
Metals are generally good conductors because they have many free electrons that are able to efficiently transfer thermal energy.
What is radiation is the transfer of energy?
what is the transfer of thermal energy by radiation
What is the radiation transfer of energy by?
what is the transfer of thermal energy by radiation
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference.?
heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference in what?
