Types of energy
Radiation
Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.
This includes: electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves, visible light, and x-rays. particle radiation.
Radiation can be defined as the transition of energy from one body in the form of waves or particles. ... Ionizing radiation includes the higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum from high energy ultraviolet light on up, radioactive decay from unstable atoms, and nuclear fission.
convection
Convection is a type of heat transfer that can only happen in liquids and gases, because it involves those liquids or gases physically moving.
Convection happens when there is a difference in temperature between two parts of a liquid or gas. The hot part of a fluid rises, and the cooler part sinks.
Convection is the circular motion that happens when warmer air or liquid — which has faster moving molecules, making it less dense — rises, while the cooler air or liquid drops down. Convection is a major factor in weather.
A good example would be heating a tin can of water using a Bunsen burner. Initially the flame produces radiation which heats the tin can.

The hot water then rises to the top, in the convection process.

The definition of conduction is the movement of something such as heat or electricity through a medium or passage.
An example of conduction is using a metal rod to roast marshmallows on an open fire and feeling the heat rise through the rod from the fire to your hand.
Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the movement of heat from one object to another one that has different temperature when they are touching each other
example, we can warm our hands by touching hot-water bottles. ... Other ways to transfer heat are by thermal radiation and/or convection.
