Radiation

4. DEFINITION
Theprocess,inwhichheatenergyis
transferredfromonesystemto another
systemduetomovementof particles
throughlargedistances,is called
convection.

5. A good example would be heating a tin can of water using a
Bunsen burner. Initially the flame produces radiation which
heats the tin can. The tin can then transfers heat to the water
through conduction. The hotwater then rises to the top, in the
convection process.
The atmosphere would be another example. The
atmosphere is heated by radiation from the Sun, the
atmosphere exhibits convection as hot air near the equator
rises producing winds, and finally there isconduction between
air molecules, and small amounts of air-land conduction.
