Thermal Energy: Conduction, Convection, Radiation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| conduction | transfer of thermal energy through collisions between neighboring objects |
| convection | transfer of thermal energy in a liquid or gas by a current |
| 1st Law of Thermodynamics | heat energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted into other forms of energy |
| heat | transfer of thermal energy from one system or object to another due to a difference in temperature |
| radiation | transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves |
| temperature | measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance |
| thermal equilibrium | condition that occurs when 2 or more objects are in contact with each other, and there is no exchange of net heat energy |
| thermal energy | total amount of kinetic and potential energy of the particles in a system |
