Definitions for "Energy transfer"
transformation from one type of energy into another; example: light energy changing into heat energy resulting in temperature change
The transfer of energy from one chromophore to another by a process dependent on the distance between the two molecules. Techniques based on energy transfer are useful for structure studies that depend on proximity of two groups.
When energy is passed from one object to another or from place to place. Energy
Any process in which a system interacts with its surroundings in such a way that the energy of the system increases (or decreases) while that of the surroundings decreases (or increases) by the same amount. See also energy conversion.
