By particle: heat conduct into materials By wave: Sun heat that is transmitted by irradiation

Energy transfer occurs through particle interaction, such as a bullet hitting a pendulum, and through wave propagation, like microwaves heating food. Both mechanisms demonstrate how energy can move from one object to another, either directly or indirectly. Examples include billiard balls colliding and electromagnetic waves from microwave ovens.
