Heat Transfer: Convection, Conduction, and Radiation

The video tutorial explains the three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. It describes how heat, a form of energy, moves from warmer to cooler regions. Conduction occurs in solids and involves direct contact, convection happens in fluids with the movement of molecules, and radiation transfers energy through electromagnetic waves. Examples include a pot on a stove, wind currents, and sunlight heating the Earth.

What are the three methods of heat transfer?

• Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

• Conduction, Convection, and Reflection

Why do darker surfaces absorb more radiation?

• Because they reflect more light

• Because they are better conductors

• Because they have higher density

• Because they absorb more light
