Brief Explanations
- Question 4: Warm air is less dense than cold air, so it rises due to buoyancy, which is a result of convection.
- Question 5: When the hand is near the iron without touching it, heat transfer occurs via radiation as heat - carrying electromagnetic waves travel from the iron to the hand.
- Question 6: The movement of warm water throughout the mattress is due to convection currents. Warmer water is less dense and rises, while cooler water is more dense and sinks, creating a circulation pattern.
