How heat can be transferred? Write its three modes and explain any two.
Answers
Answer:
The three types of heat transfer
Heat is transfered via solid material (conduction), liquids and gases (convection), and electromagnetical waves (radiation). Heat is usually transfered in a combination of these three types and seldomly occurs on its own.

Hey mate!!!!!!!!!!
I've got the question to your answer!!!!!!!!
When there are objects which are at different temperatures or there is an object at a different temperature from the surroundings, then the transfer of heat takes place so that the object and the surrounding, both reach an equilibrium temperature.
There are three modes of heat transfer.
- Conduction
- Convection
- Radiation
1. Conduction of Heat
Heat conduction is a process in which heat is transferred from the hotter part to the colder part in a body without involving any actual movement of the molecules of the body. Heat transfer takes place from one molecule to another molecule as a result of the vibratory motion of the molecules. Heat transfer through the process of conduction occurs in substances which are in direct contact with each other. It generally takes place in solids.
Conduction example: When frying vegetables in a pan. Heat transfer takes place from flame to the pan and then to the vegetables.
Based on the conductivity of heat, substances can be classified as conductors and insulators. Substances that conduct heat easily are known as conductors and those that do not conduct heat are known as insulators.
2. Convection of Heat
In this process, heat is transferred in the liquid and gases from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Convection heat transfer occurs partly due to the actual movement of molecules or due to the mass transfer.
For example. Heating of milk in a pan.
3. Radiation of Heat
It is the process in which heat is transferred from one body to another body without involving the molecules of the medium. Radiation heat transfer does not depend on the medium.
For example: In a microwave, the substances are heated directly without any heating medium.
(According to your question, there is no need to explain this part)
