Question

Which of the following is an example of heat transfer through conduction?

Answer 1

Answer:

a pan on the stove getting hot

Explanation:

Conduction is type of heat transfer that involves vibration of particles transferring heat to the ones next to them by collisions. So it requires contact between substances.

Hot air rising is convection which is typical of fluids. The sun drying our clothes is radiation of waves from the sun. And microwaves as the name suggestion heats through radiation of waves. A pan on the stoves however relies on the physical contact between the stove and the pan. So particles of the stove vibrate colliding with the pan particles transferring energy

Answer 2

A pan on the stove getting hot, because the pan is conducting the heat from the stove.
