Heat Transfer

Question 1 of 11

1

What are the 3 ways heat can be transferred?

Select one of the following:

Insulation, conduction, radiation
Conduction, radiation, convection
Convection, conduction, irradiation

Explanation

Question 2 of 11

Materials that are poor conductors of heat and that can sometimes block heat transfer are called insulators.

Select one of the following:

True
False

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

As air is , its particles gain energy and move apart, becoming dense. This hot air is less dense than cool air and so it is pushed by the cooler air around it.

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Radiation transmits heat as ( invisible, light, radio ) waves that travel at the speed of ( light, sound, Lewis Hamilton's racecar, Winx ). Heat travels through empty space between the Earth and the Sun. Heat from the sun cannot be transferred by ( conduction, radiation, infiltration ) or convection because there are no ( particles, dust, snowflakes ) to vibrate or flow in the vacuum of space.

reflected, rebounded and absorbed
rebounded, transmitted and infiltrated
