Question

02 multiple choice
a metal spoon that sits in a pot on a stove, gets hot by:
convection of heat energy
conduction of heat energy.
refraction of heat energy
radiation of heat energy

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact. In this case, the metal spoon in the pot on the stove gets hot because heat is transferred from the hot pot (in direct contact with the spoon) to the spoon itself. Convection involves the movement of fluids to transfer heat, refraction is related to the bending of light or waves and not heat transfer here, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves without a medium in - between.

Answer:

B. conduction of heat energy
