conduction
Metals are good conductors of heat
Non metals are bad conductors. Bad conductors are insulators.
Electrons in metals can move around freely
Causes charged ions.
Thermal energy is conducted from hot end to cold end.
convection
Takes place in fluids
Occurs when particles with lots of heat energy move and take place of particles with less heat energy.
radiation
works in a vacuum
no particles required
Shiny surfaces are bad emitters of radiation.
Infrared radiation
Dark surfaces absorb heat better than shiny surfaces.
Dark, non shiny surfaces are good emitters and absorbers.
