Answer:

Another name for light is ¨Electromagnetic Radiation, luminous energy, and/or radiant energy.¨

Explanation:

Light is the electromagnetic radiation that´s capable of causing a visual sensation and has wavelengths from about 380 to about 780 nanometres. Electromagnetic radiation includes Radio Waves, Microwaves (used in microwaves), Infrared Radiation (heat), Visible Light (the colors we see), Ultraviolet (the UV radiation that causes sunburns), X-Rays (used in medical X-Rays), and Gamma Rays (which can be used to treat cancer). Light waves are transverse waves because they only travel east or west, but their crests and troughs face north and south (if desplayed on a coordinate grid). They wouldn´t be longitudinal waves because these waves don´t have vertical crests and troughs.

I hope this helps!

Paha777 [63]

Method A is Convection

Method B is Conduction

Explanation:

From the problem, we can infer that method A is convection and method B is conduction.

Conduction, convection and radiation are the three main methods of heat transfer.

Conduction and convection requires material medium to propagate.
Radiation occurs in the absence of a material medium.
Conduction mostly occurs in solid. Here, heat is transferred from one hot end to the cold end of the solid. The vibration of the particles in the hot end causes the transfer of kinetic energy to the cold end until thermal equilibrium is reached.
In convection, heat is primarily transferred in fluids as a result of density differences. Convection involves the motion of the materials of the medium. Hot air is light and it rises whereas cold air is dense and it sinks.
