Thermal Energy and Heat Transfer

A barefoot student steps on a hot concrete surface. Most of the heat transferred to the student’s skin by this contact is by the process of—

• convection
• conduction
• vaporization
• radiation

what is conduction?

• direct touch
• air or liquids
• heat waves/ light waves
• drinking hot coffee
