Electromagnetic,
Electrical,
Chemical and Thermal
objects motion
(kinetic) or position
(potential).
The bowling ball has
mechanical energy.
When the ball strikes
the pins, mechanical
energy is transferred
to the pins!
What is Electromagnetic
Energy?
o Light energy
o Includes energy
from gamma rays,
xrays, ultraviolet
rays, visible light,
infrared rays,
microwave and
radio bands
Heat energy

Heat Transfer
Conduction, Convection and
Radiation
What is Conduction?
Conduction heat
transferred by
particles colliding
into one another,
such as in a metal.
Transfer of energy
by touch
Not an effective
transfer in a gas.
Primarily solids
Conduction
What is Convection?
Convection heat transferred by the
circulation of a fluid (or gas), such as in a
heating system at home; important near
the surface of the Sun.
Hot air rises cool
air falls
Convection
What is Radiation?
Radiation heat transferred by the flow of
electromagnetic radiation, like heat felt
from the campfire.
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer
that can happen in a vacuum.
Heat transfer
through waves
Radiation
