Energy emission and energy absorption.

Basically the hot solid has energy and it's molecules/atoms are moving around quite energetically...these molecules/atoms can lose that energy (in the form of photons) which then can hit the other solid and give it that energy, causing the new solid's atoms/molecules to move around energetically and make the solid 'hot'.

It's better viewed with a quantum mechanical explanation and I'll go into that if someone requests it...but without being already familiar with that, just think of it as laid out above.

When are particles necessary for heat traveling?

Particles are necessary for heat transfer in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles, like in solids. In convection, particles transfer heat by moving within a fluid, such as air or water. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, and particles are not necessary for this type of heat transfer.


How is heat transferred through kettle walls.'?

Heat is transferred through kettle walls primarily by conduction. When the kettle is heated on a stove, the heat from the flame is transferred to the bottom of the kettle through conduction. This heat is then transferred to the rest of the kettle through the metal walls by conduction as well.


Which type of heat transfer is it when heat is transferred through a substance?

Conduction is the type of heat transfer that occurs when heat is transferred through a substance. In conduction, heat moves from higher to lower temperature regions within the substance.


Three ways by which heat is transferred?

Heat can be transferred through conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between materials; convection, where heat is transferred through the movement of fluids or gases; and radiation, where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves without the need for a medium.


What is heat energy that is transferred by particles or waves called?

Particles is one thing, waves is something else. Heat transferred by the motion of particles can be conduction or convection. Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves is radiation.
