In physics, energy transfer describes the process of transferring energy from one body to another. In other words if you were to drop a book into a pool, the kinetic energy from this book will transfer into the water causing it to make a splash and creating waves. Some energy may also be transferred into the air in the form of sound.

In chemistry, the term may be used to describe the process of transferring vibrational energy from one molecule (or molecular domain) to another molecule (or molecular domain).
