When heat is transferred by molecular cooling, it is referred to as heat transfer by Correct Answer conduction
Concept:
|
Three modes of Transmission of heat/heat flow |
|||
|
Sr. No |
Conduction |
Convection |
Radiation |
|
1 |
Heat dissipates from one place to another by molecular vibration or collision |
Heat is transfer from one place to another by transfer of molecules |
It transfers heat in the form of electromagnetic wave |
|
2 |
Conduction is relevant to solid only. |
Convection happens in liquid or gases |
It can heat any form of material. |
|
3 |
Need medium to transfer heat |
Need medium to transfer heat |
No need of medium |
|
4 |
Good Conductor- The objects which transfer heat easily. Ex- metals, human body etc Bad Conductor- The objects which do not transfer heat easily. Ex- Wood, Air, etc. Thermal Insulator- No heat is transferred by any means. Ex- Abonite, asbestos etc. |
When molecules are heated they headed upward and upper molecules go downward and this cyclic process continues.
Boiling of fluid |
Heat travels in terms of energy packets or waves The heat absorbed by body gain energy
Radiations of Sun |
Additional Information
Scattering:
- The air molecules, water vapor, and dust particles scatter the solar radiation as it passes through the atmosphere.
- A part of this scattered radiation also reaches the atmosphere.
