Heat
First, What is heat? Heat in a basic term is thermal energy than can travel three different ways, conduction, convection, and radiation.
Convection
ConvectionRadiationHeat VocabularyConductor: an object that transmits electricity, heat, or sound
Insulator: an object that doesn't transmit electricity, heat , or sound
Absorb: to take in (energy, or a liquid)
Angle of Incidence: the original direction of light beam Angle of Reflection: the direction the light beam goes after being reflected Diffuse: spread over a large area
Light: a path that allows someone or something see |
Convection is heat traveling by touch like I'm applying heat to a jacket, or if someone touches a hot pan and burn their hand. Convection also happens when a chiwawa gets heat from a blanket.
Convection is when heat rises into the air which causes wind. Convection also heats up your house unless you don't have a heater and your homeless and have a computer somehow. Radiation is heat traveling through space. It wasn't for radiation, we wouldn't have 99% of our energy from the sun leaving us to die. That's how you can get a sunburn in the summer. Radiation happens when you are next to a campfire when it emits heat waves. Even YOU emit heat waves! Concave: a surface that curves inward like the interior of a circle
Convex: a surface that curves outward like the interior of a circle Light Spectrum: listed in order of range of the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
