Question

define how each thermal energy transfer works.
conduction-
conduction until the thermal energy of all particles
convection-
radiation-

Explanation:

• Conduction: Thermal energy transfer through direct contact of particles. Particles vibrate and transfer energy to adjacent particles until thermal equilibrium.
• Convection: Thermal energy transfer in fluids (liquids and gases). Warmer, less - dense fluid rises, and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a circulation pattern.
• Radiation: Thermal energy transfer in the form of electromagnetic waves (like infrared). Does not require a medium; can occur in a vacuum.

Answer:

• Conduction: Thermal energy transfer through direct particle - to - particle contact until thermal equilibrium.
• Convection: Thermal energy transfer in fluids via density - driven circulation (warm fluid rises, cool fluid sinks).
• Radiation: Thermal energy transfer as electromagnetic waves (no medium needed).
