the particles at the heated end in say a metal rod gain kinetic energy and therefore start to vibrate more. These heated particles then hit other less energetic (hot) particles and then the heat is passed on that way until the whole object is heated up.

through a medium. eg. atoms move and collide. so in this case, the medium are the "collisions"

Heat transferred in convection occurs through movements of fluids.


What are 3 ways in which thremal energy can be transfered?

Heat is transferred through Convection, Conduction, and Radiation. Convection is heat transferred through a liquid medium such as air, as felt from your furnace. Conduction is through a solid medium. One instance of this takes place through the bottom of a cooking pan. Radiation is transferred through a void in the form of low frequency light waves, or infra-red radiation. This can easily be observed by moving in and out of a shadow into the sun. The air temperature around you remains constant, but you instantly feel the heat of the sun. That's from the sun's radiation.


What are three ways in which thermal energy is transferred?

1.by conduction through dense matter.(solids) 2.by convection through less dense matter (liquids/gas) 3.by radiation through vacuum


Transfer of thermal energy of a hotter object to any cooler one is?

known as heat transfer, which occurs through three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between molecules. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
