What is needed for conduction and convection to take place but not radiation?
Conduction and convection require a medium, such as solids or fluids, to transfer heat through direct contact or movement. Radiation, on the other hand, can occur in a vacuum or through empty space as electromagnetic waves. So, for conduction and convection to take place but not radiation, a medium for heat transfer is necessary.
What are three ways heat can travel?
Conduction (through e.g. solid materials like metals that allow heat through - like a saucepan base) It is transformed into another object by touchConvection - 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.
Which is slower conduction convection and radiation?
Conduction is the slower compared to the other two convection and radiation. Radiation is nothing but electromagnetic wave which travels at the speed of light. It is the fastest. Convection is due to free movement of liquid molecules so it is also faster compared to the conduction becuase conduction is passing the disturbed information form one molecule to the other. Here disturbance is in the form of vibration.
What do conduction convection and radiation mean?
conduction is the transfer of heat between two surfaces in contact with each other convection is the transfer of heat into a moving fluid radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves
In which form of heat transfer is a medium not required?
Heat transfer by means of radiation doesn't heat the medium. In fact, radiation doesn't even require a medium in order to work. Strictly speaking, convection doesn't heat the medium either. Convection transfers heat by moving the medium around. Of course, heat also spreads throughout the medium by conduction while the convection is going on.
What important ability or property does electromagnetic radiation have that other energy transport processes such as conduction and convection do not?
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum (like the vacuum of space), while conduction and convection require matter to do their thing.
Are there any other types of heat transfer?
There are 3 main Heat Transfer Mechanisms: Conduction, Convection and Radiation.
Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?
This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.

How is the atmosphere affected by conduction convection radiation?
The atmosphere is affected by convention because convection heats the lower atmosphere. Radiation transfers energy which other gases heat up. Conduction does not impact the atmosphere in these same ways.
What are 3 ways thermal energy is transfered from one substance to the other?
Convection. Conduction. Radiation

Is a solid liquid or gas sread by conduction?
Conduction is a form of heat transfer. The other forms are radiation and convection. Conduction is the normal way for heat to spread throughout a solid object. Convection is the normal way for gases and liquids.
How does the process of convection rely on radiation?
It relys on it because convection are the air currents that have to be heated by something, so you need objects to radiate heat to heat up the air to start the current
What are the three processes of heat transfer?
The three methods of heat transfer are: (1) Conduction - particles bump into other particles, transferring energy. (2) Convection - moving masses carry heat with them. Especially, hot air (for example) tends to rise up, because of its lower density - the heat difference itself causes the currents. (3) Radiation. Objects radiate electromagnetic radiation, depending on their temperature. (The amount of energy radiated increases quickly at higher temperatures.)
What transfers radiation?
It can transfer energy-eg heat energy. Other types of heat transferance are conduction and convection
