What is conduction
Fastest in Solids, Slowest is Gas
The process of energy transfer from one end to another by vibrating particles colliding with neighbouring molecules.
What is Convection
Only in Liquid and Gas
Hotter medium is less dense and floats to top, denser cooler medium sinks to bottom replacing hotter medium. The process repeats until a convection current is formed.
What medium does radiation require
does not need a medium
what makes a good emitter of radiation
Dull surface
Dark coloured surface
Large surface area
what makes a bad emitter of radiation
Shiny surface
Brightly coloured surface
small surface area
