What is conduction?

• The transfer of thermal energy between matter by the collisions of particles.

• The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.

• The process of cooling by adding coldness.

• The transfer of energy by chemical reactions.

What happens when you burn your fingers on a hot pan?

• Thermal energy moves from the hot pan to your cooler skin.

• Thermal energy moves from your skin to the pan.

• No energy is transferred.

• The pan becomes cooler.

What happens to the temperature difference between a hot cup of tea and the air as time passes?

• It decreases.

• It increases.

• It stays the same.

• It disappears instantly.

How does a toaster heat toast if the coils and bread are not in contact?

• By radiation

• By conduction

• By convection

• By evaporation

How does radiation differ from conduction?

• Radiation can occur between objects that are not touching.

• Radiation only happens in solids.

• Radiation requires direct contact.

• Radiation cannot transfer energy.
