What is the term for the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light?

Back

Radiation

Front

How does warm air behave in a room, and what type of heat transfer does this illustrate?

Back

Warm air rises due to convection.

What is an example of conduction in everyday life?

Back

Walking on warm sand with bare feet.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a chair placed near a fireplace, and what type of heat transfer is involved?

Back

The chair warms up due to radiation from the fireplace.

Front

In which type of heat transfer does the medium (solid, liquid, or gas) not need to move?

Back

Conduction.

Front

What is the main difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction occurs through direct contact, while convection involves the movement of fluids.
