Heat Transfer Methods: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation Explained #3496916 (License: Personal Use)

The image visually distinguishes conduction-where heat travels through a solid metal rod held over a candle flame; radiation-represented by the sun emitting energy without a medium; and convection-shown by a hand feeling warmth from rising hot air above an open flame. Each method is depicted with simple, intuitive human-scale examples to aid conceptual understanding in physics education.

Commonly used in educational websites, science textbooks, or classroom slides to teach middle/high school or introductory college physics concepts about thermal energy transfer; matches user intent for visual learning aids and STEM resource searches.
