Front

What is the transfer of heat energy by electromagnetic waves?

Back

Radiation

Front

What happens to the temperature of water when ice cubes are placed in it?

Back

The temperature decreases because some of the water's heat is lost to the ice.

Front

What is the transfer of heat by direct contact?

Back

Conduction

Front

Why is metal a good material to make frying pans?

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves without the need for a medium.

Front

What is an example of conduction in everyday life?

Back

Touching a hot stove and feeling the heat transfer to your hand.
