What is one key difference between the radiation and convection zones?

 convection requires a medium is not the main difference, it is simply the most obvious aspect of what is a fundamentally different mechanism for transfering energy. Convection is the transfer of energy by movement of a medium, whereas radiation is the transfer of energy by, well, thermal radiation. Conduction also requires a medium, but, again, it is a fundamentally different mechanism than either convection or radiation; in this case it is the transfer of energy through a medium.

Unfortunately, analogies are hard but if you can visualize the particles involved, it would help. Picture the red hot iron you mentioned. On a molecular level, the material is emitting lots and lots of photons (hence why it is glowing red). The creation of these photons takes energy; energy from the heat of the iron. These photons leave the iron, pass through the environment, and eventually collide with some other object where they are absorbed and deposit their energy. This is radiative heat transfer. If that energy is deposited on your retina or a CCD (like in a digital camera), an image forms over time. This is how infrared goggles work and they would work equally well in high vacuum as here on earth.

In conduction, the next simplest example, there is no generation of photons (physics nerds forgive me for the sake of simplicity). The individual atoms in the object are vibrating with heat energy. As each atom gains energy from it's more energetic neighbors, so it gives up energy to its less energetic ones. Over time, the heat "travels" through the object.

In convection, the molecules of gas near the object gain energy, like in the conduction case, but those same molecules that gained energy then travel through the environment to some other location where they then give off their heat energy.

In summary:

radiation = generated and absorbed photonsconduction = molecules exciting their neighbors succesivelyconvection = molecules heated like in conduction, but then move to another location

Answers to the code are given below with appropriate guidelines on definitions and how to properly run the code

Explanation:

//3 ways to comment are as follows:

//1. This is a one line comment.

/**

* 2. This is a documentation comment.

* @author Your name here

*

*/

/*

*3. This is a multiple line comment

* */

public class Comments {

//Driver method

public static void main(String[]args) {

/*

* All the text written inside the

* sysout method will be displayed on

* to the command prompt/console*/

System.out.println("Program comments are nonexecuting statements you add to a file for the purpose of documentation.\n");

System.out.println("3 ways to add comments in JAVA are as follows: \n");

System.out.println("1. One line comment can be written as:\n//Program comments are nonexecuting statements you add to a file for the purpose of documentation.\n");

System.out.println("2. MultiLine comment can be written as:\n/* Program comments are nonexecuting \n * statements you add to a file for the \n * purpose of documentation.\n */\n");

System.out.println("3. Documentation comment can be written as follows:\n/**\n * Program comments are nonexecuting statements you add to a file for the purpose of documentation.\n **/");

}

}

Steps to Run:

1. Make file named Comments.java, and copy paste the above code.

2. Open command prompt and then go to the directory where you have saved the above created file.

3. The before running compile the code by using command

javac Comments.java

4. Now, run the code by the below command

java Comments.
