A dark colored wall becomes warm when the Sun is shining on it. After the Sun sets, a person standing a meter away can feel warmth from the wall. How does heat transfer from the wall to the person?

• radiation

• conduction

• convection

• insulation

Which is the best example of radiation?

• warming hot dogs over a fire
• boiling water on a stove-top burner
• burning a piece of paper with a candle flame

A student places a cup of cold water on a counter in a hot room. After a short time, the student notices that the water in the cup is no longer cold. Which best explains why the water in the cup is no longer cold?

• The coldness of the water transferred to the air, making the water in the cup warmer.
• The coldness of the water was conducted to the cup, making the water in the cupwarmer.
• The heat from the air transferred to the water in the cup, making the water in the cup warmer.
• The heat from the air caused the cold water in the cup to condense, making thewater warmer.
