The high [[temperature]] of the brakes causes them to [[heat]] the [[air]] around them. [[Energy]] is being '''tansferred by heating''' from the [[Thermal Energy Store]] of the brakes to the [[Thermal Energy Store]] of the [[air]] around them.

The high [[temperature]] causes the [[Electrical Bulb|bulb]] to glow, [[emit]]ting [[Visible Light]]. This [[Visible Light]] '''transfers energy by radiation''' to the surroundings.
