What is conduction?

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through convection

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through radiation

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through a vacuum

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself.

Give an example of conduction.

• Wooden stick placed in a cold glass of water

• Metal spoon placed in a hot cup of coffee

• Plastic straw in a lukewarm drink

• Rubber band stretched over a pencil

Provide an example of convection.

• Boiling water in a pot

• Lightning during a storm

• Circulation of warm air rising and cool air sinking

• A car engine running

Give an example of radiation.

• Microwaves from a microwave oven

• Ultraviolet light from the sun

• X-rays from a medical imaging machine

• Infrared radiation from a heater

How does heat transfer occur?

• Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation.

• Heat transfer occurs through absorption, reflection, and emission.

• Heat transfer occurs through evaporation, sublimation, and deposition.

• Heat transfer occurs through compression, expansion, and condensation.

What are the three methods of heat transfer?

• Reflection, absorption, transmission

• Evaporation, sublimation, deposition

• Diffusion, osmosis, filtration

• Conduction, convection, and radiation

How is heat transferred through conduction?

• Direct contact between particles in a material

• Heat transferred through reflection

• Heat transferred through convection

• Heat transferred through radiation

How does radiation differ from conduction and convection?

• Radiation only occurs in liquids.

• Radiation requires direct contact between objects.

• Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat.

• Radiation is slower than conduction and convection.

What are some common applications of heat transfer in everyday life?

• Boiling eggs, melting ice, drying hair

• Baking, freezing food, lighting candles

• Cooking, boiling water, heating rooms, cooling drinks, ironing clothes

• Heating cars, cooling laptops, warming blankets

What is the role of insulation in preventing heat loss?

• Insulation has no effect on preventing heat loss.

• Insulation reduces heat transfer by trapping air pockets.

• Insulation absorbs heat and releases it slowly.

• Insulation increases heat transfer by conducting heat efficiently.
