1. Conduction (Heat Wave Substrate Heater and Heat Rock): the
transfer of heat by means of physical contact. The larger the
contact area, the more efficient the heat transfer.
2. Convection (almost all heat sources create a form of convection):
the movement of heat by moving air. Convection results from the
differences in the densities of the air at different temperatures. As
air raises in temperature, it becomes less dense and thus lighter
thereby rising above its cooler and denser counterparts, which in
turn sink.
3. Radiation (Daytime Heat Bulb, Night Heat Bulb, Intense Basking
Spot): energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Different
forms of radiation comprise the electromagnetic spectrum and
are characterized by their different wavelength. The following
types of radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum (in order
of decreasing energy and increasing wavelength): ultraviolet rays,
visible light rays and infrared.The shortest wavelength forms of
radiation are most penetrating.
Incandescent light bulbs (Daytime Heat Bulb, Night Heat Bulb or
Intense Basking Spot) should not be mounted immediately above the
Heat Rock, and place them in such a way that a cooler area is
still present.
The Heat Wave Substrate Heater can be used in conjunction with the
Heat Rock but it is not recommended. Never position the Heat Rock
on the surface heated by a Heat Wave Substrate Heater!
