What is one key difference between the radiation and convection zones?

 convection requires a medium is not the main difference, it is simply the most obvious aspect of what is a fundamentally different mechanism for transfering energy. Convection is the transfer of energy by movement of a medium, whereas radiation is the transfer of energy by, well, thermal radiation. Conduction also requires a medium, but, again, it is a fundamentally different mechanism than either convection or radiation; in this case it is the transfer of energy through a medium.

Unfortunately, analogies are hard but if you can visualize the particles involved, it would help. Picture the red hot iron you mentioned. On a molecular level, the material is emitting lots and lots of photons (hence why it is glowing red). The creation of these photons takes energy; energy from the heat of the iron. These photons leave the iron, pass through the environment, and eventually collide with some other object where they are absorbed and deposit their energy. This is radiative heat transfer. If that energy is deposited on your retina or a CCD (like in a digital camera), an image forms over time. This is how infrared goggles work and they would work equally well in high vacuum as here on earth.

In conduction, the next simplest example, there is no generation of photons (physics nerds forgive me for the sake of simplicity). The individual atoms in the object are vibrating with heat energy. As each atom gains energy from it's more energetic neighbors, so it gives up energy to its less energetic ones. Over time, the heat "travels" through the object.

In convection, the molecules of gas near the object gain energy, like in the conduction case, but those same molecules that gained energy then travel through the environment to some other location where they then give off their heat energy.

In summary:

radiation = generated and absorbed photonsconduction = molecules exciting their neighbors succesivelyconvection = molecules heated like in conduction, but then move to another location

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

z = a.c' + a.b.d' + b.c'.d'

Explanation:

The truth table for this question is provided in the attachment to this question.

N.B - a' = not a!

The rows with output of 1 come from the following relations: 01 > 00, 10 > 00, 10 > 01, 11 > 00, 11 > 01, 11 > 10

This means that the Boolean expression is a sum of all the rows with output of 1.

z = a'bc'd' + ab'c'd' + ab'c'd + abc'd' + abc'd + abcd'

On simplification,

z = bc'd' + ab'c' + ac'd' + ac'd + abc' + abd'

z = ac' + abd' + bc'd'

Hope this helps!

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

tabs.

Explanation:

Microsoft Word refers to a word processing software application or program developed by Microsoft Inc. to enable its users to type, format and save text-based documents.

In Microsoft Word 2019, the users are availed with the ability to edit the word document in the following view type;

I. View Mode.

II. Print Mode.

III. Drift Layout.

To easily and quickly convert text to tables in Microsoft Word, you should insert common separators between the text columns. The common separators or delimiters used when converting a table to text include tabs, paragraph marks, or commas.

Tabs or commas are used to indicate where the texts are divided into table columns while paragraph marks indicate where a new table row begins.
