How does heat energy travel through solids by conduction?
Generally: Heat Energy is the external manifestation of the Internal Kinetic Energy of the Molecules of any matter. However, these molecules due to their Kinetic energy all always in Random Motion. Now to what u Have asked : 1. If we supply some heat energy from external source it imparts kinetic energy to the molecules of the solid Conductor which in turn start vibrating violently. This process works like a chain and energy gets imparted from one to next and Son on…. In this way Heat Energy is Transferred through Solids. Since the Intermolecular space is quite less in case of Solids, So this process is hurried.
