RadiationCurrent LectureConduction- Conduction: The Energy transport from hot to cold by random motion of atoms or molecules.◦ Conduction depends on temperature difference. This depends on the material.▪ Aluminum/Copper/Silver (Metal) = Good Conductors▪ Air = A Bad Conductor ◦ If you had a piece of metal at 73°F and a piece of wood at 73°F, the piece of metal would feel colder because it is a good conductor (and takes heat from the hand).◦ “Our perception of cold is a good indicator of how quickly our body loses heat.”These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

The air becomes hotter by conduction.◦ 2. The air begins to expand and become less dense.◦ 3. A bubble begins to rise.◦ 4. A bubble rises on its own (thermals).◦ Free convection happens naturally.- Forced Convection:◦ Convective Circulation: The air around the sand rises → The air gets colder → Cold air sinks → The air around the sand rises◦ Forced convection (advection) is this transfer by wind.Radiation- Radiation can be transferred without a medium. That is, the transfer of energy by radiation can occur in empty space. That is because it propagates in wave form.- Radiation travels at the speed of light (300,000 KM/S).- Frequency and wavelength are related. ◦ Frequency: The number of up and down cycles per second- A slow up and down motion has: ◦ A lower frequency◦ A longer wavelength- A faster up and down motion has:These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
