Best Answer

Conduction (through e.g. solid materials like metals that allow heat through - like a saucepan base) It is transformed into another object by touch

Convection - in liquids and gases. Hot substances expand and so are less dense than cold substances. These less dense liquids and gases rise and cool ones fall forming a current. as an example, convector heaters in your home, the Gulf Stream that brings warm water from the Caribbean to Europe.

Radiation - the method by which energy is transferred through a vacuum e.g. in the infra red heat energy from the sun as it travels across the vacuum of space.

radiation, convection and conduction.

Three ways heat can travel is Radiation,Convection ,Conduction.

1- Radiation:-

It doesn't require any medium. The best example of radiation is heat travelling from Sun to Earth.

2- Convection:-

Convection requires a liquid medium. It's best example is the heating of water in a beaker.

3- Conduction:-

It requires a solid or material medium. The heat is transferred by the vibration of molecules for example the heating of a metal rod after putting candle on the other side.

Conduction, Convection and Radiation

For example, for conduction you can use a boiling pot of water.

For convection you can use a blender.

For radiation you can use the sun or another one is your cell phone.

  • Convection, warm water or air or any other gas or fluid, rises cold falls and a heat source creates the system. (Ice water in a glass on a warm day)
  • Conduction, cold object touches hot (My hand and my frying pan last night)
  • Radiation is when you can feel the heat coming off something with out touching it (the sun is a good example)
