Question

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Convection

Explanation:

There are three types of mode of transfer of energy

1). Conduction: when heat is transferred by medium molecules such that all molecules will remain at their own position and transfer the energy by vibrating at their own position.

Here thermal energy is transferred at smaller rate and medium must be solid medium.

2) Convection: here thermal energy is transferred by medium molecules such that the medium absorbs the heat and move from one position to other position. So here medium molecules also transfer along with the thermal energy

This is possible in liquids and gases.

3) Radiation: In this mode of heat transfer we do not require any medium and here energy is transferred in form of electromagnetic radiations.

So here correct answer is CONVECTION

Answer 2

Word from the list best fits definition - Option C

Convection best fits the definition transfer of heat through flowing material. This is because the logic is that it is the heat transference due to the mass transportation of particles within liquids. Example gases and liquids that includes melted ore.

It undergoes by advection, diffusion or both. Convection happens when molecules which have very heat energy in a liquid or gas transit and hold the place of molecules which have less energy of heat. Heat energy is shifted from hot areas to cooler areas by the phenomena of convection. The thick cold liquid drops into the warm regions.
