 UNIT-1

Three modes of heat transfer

• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation
 Conduction
Why does metal feel colder than wood, if they
are both at the same temperature?
 Convection
Why is it windy at the seaside?
Why is the freezer compartment put at the top in a fridge?
Freezer

 Radiation
How does heat energy get from the Sun to the Earth?

There are no particles between

the Sun and the Earth so it
CANNOT travel by conduction or
by convection.
