Exploring Heat Transfer: Convection, Conduction, and Radiation

The video explains heat as a form of energy transfer between objects of different temperatures. It covers the direction of heat transfer from hot to cold and describes how particle movement affects this process. The video details three modes of heat transfer: convection, conduction, and radiation, providing examples for each. Convection involves fluid movement, conduction requires direct contact, and radiation occurs through empty space. The video concludes with a review and examples of each mode.

What is heat in terms of energy?

• A form of light

• A type of chemical reaction
