Conduction


What is the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of heated matter?

convection


Is thermal energy transferred without transfer of matter?

There are three ways to transfer heat energy (thermal energy); convection involves transferring matter, the other two methods (conduction, radiation) don't.


What does not need matter to transfer thermal energy?

Infrared radiation does not require matter to transfer thermal energy. It can travel through vacuum, such as outer space, and is responsible for the heat we feel from the sun.


Is it true or false that transfer of thermal energy by radiation does not require matter?

True. Transfer of thermal energy by radiation does not require matter because it occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, which can travel through vacuum where there is no matter. This form of energy transfer is how heat from the sun reaches Earth.


Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?

Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.


What is it called that allows heat to flow through matter?

The process that allows heat to flow through matter is called thermal conduction. It occurs when vibrating atoms or molecules transfer kinetic energy to neighboring particles in a material. This transfer of energy leads to an overall increase in temperature within the material.


What is the ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another and is a physical property of matter?

The ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another is called thermal conductivity. It is a physical property of matter that quantifies how well a material can conduct heat. Materials with high thermal conductivity can transfer heat efficiently, while materials with low thermal conductivity are poor heat conductors.


What do therodynamics apply to?

Everything, all matter within existence is subject to the transfer of thermal energy. Thermodynamics help us to understand how matter will behave when undergoing a change in thermal energy.


What is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter?

Radiation is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter. It occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, traveling through space and transferring heat energy. This process can happen even in a vacuum where there is no physical medium for heat transfer.


What transfers of thermal energy by the movement of matter from one place to another?

This mode of thrermal energy transfer is called CNVECTION.
