🧠 Memory Aid: The Three Methods
Remember the three methods with: CCR — Conduction, Convection, Radiation
To remember what each one needs: "Conduction needs Contact (particle to particle), Convection needs Currents (fluid moves), Radiation needs Nothing (works in vacuum)"
Black body memory: "Black absorbs, Black emits" — both absorption and emission are maximised by black, matt surfaces.
