Convection, Conduction, Radiation?

Question

Large trees? conduction
turbines? convection
windows? convection
white paint? radiation
drapes-convection
tint?-radiation
boxing (house)- radiationC

Answer 1

Conduction - Molecule to Molecule transfer!
Convection - Energy transferred by movement!
Advection - Horizontally dominant movement!
Radiation - Energy traveling through air or space!

Windows conduct such minute levels of heat, most is either reflected or refracted. When the refracted light goes through a window it loses some energy, almost no conduction however.

Drapes heat up through radiation sources, but they absorb the energy through conduction.

White paint mostly reflects, it has a very high albedo...Snow's albedo is roughly around 0.8, one of the highest things on earth. Any energy the paint does absorb is through conduction.

Tint is the same thing as the windows only it has a great refraction of light.

Your boxing is correct.

Answer 2

well i always remember conduction as touchduction when u touch boiling water convection is like a cirle like warm air and cold air chasing each other like a radiator heating up the room Radiation is like standin by a fire u feel the heat but ur not touching it If u need help u should have asked the teacher before bc she should help u bc thats her job

Answer 3

Yup. Conduction, convection, and radiation are the three ways in which thermal energy is transfered.
