Physics 1A - Energy
  1. Heat Radiation
    1. Convection
      1. Involves Particles
        1. Mainly Liquids and Gasses
          1. Hotter Particles lose Density and start to rise, taking their heat energy with them
          2. Conduction
            1. Involves Particles
              1. Mainly Solids
                1. Collisions of particles
                2. Radiation
                  1. Uses InfraRed Radiation
                    1. Can be emitted by solids, liquids or gasses
                      1. Emission of EM waves

                        2. Condensation + Evaporation
                          1. Condensation = Gas →Liquid
                            1. Evaporation's the opposite
