Which statement about radiation is true?
It requires a medium to transfer heat.
It cannot occur in a vacuum.
It is the primary way the sun's energy reaches the Earth.
It only occurs in solids.
Which of the following processes is responsible for heating the Earth’s surface?

Convection
Radiation
None of the above
In a thermos flask, which heat transfer method is minimized by the vacuum layer?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
All of the above
Which of these methods of heat transfer involves no particles?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
None of the above
Which of the following is an example of conduction?
Heating a pot on a stove
Warm air rising near a heater
Heat from the sun warming the ground
Boiling water in a kettle
Why do metals conduct heat well?
They have free electrons that transfer energy quickly
They have high density
They are malleable
They reflect light
Which part of the body experiences conduction when holding a hot cup of tea?
Skin in direct contact with the cup
Air around the cup
The steam rising from the tea
None of the above
What happens during convection in fluids?
Cooler fluid sinks, and warmer fluid rises
Cooler fluid rises, and warmer fluid sinks
