Question

how is thermal energy being transferred in each part of the image? drag each term to the correct location.
radiation
convection
conduction

Explanation:

• Conduction: Transfers heat through direct contact (e.g., between the hot object and the handle, or the handle and the hand via the glove? Wait, no—conduction is direct molecular contact. Wait, the middle part with the circular arrows: no, wait, let's re-express. Wait, the three heat transfer methods:
• Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact (molecular collision), like the heat moving through the metal part (if the object is a pan, the heat from the burner to the pan, or pan to handle). But in the image, the part with the black curved arrows (inside the object) might be convection? Wait, no—let's recall:
• Convection: Heat transfer by fluid (liquid/gas) movement (circular currents, like in a liquid or air). So the middle dashed square with circular arrows: that's convection (fluid moving, carrying heat).
• Radiation: Heat transfer via electromagnetic waves (infrared, etc.), shown by the wavy red arrows moving away from the object (both top and bottom wavy arrows—radiation doesn't need a medium).
• Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact (solid, liquid, or gas, but via molecular contact). The part with the orange wavy line (from the object to the handle, then to the hand) is conduction—heat moving through the solid handle (or the glove? Wait, no, the glove is an insulator, but the handle is a conductor. So the orange line is conduction (heat moving through the handle to the hand, though the glove might be for protection, but the transfer through the handle is conduction).

So:

• The middle dashed square with circular arrows: convection (fluid circulation).
• The wavy red arrows (top and bottom, moving away from the object): radiation (heat via EM waves).
• The orange wavy line (from object to handle to hand): conduction (direct contact transfer through the handle).

So to drag:

• Radiation → wavy red arrows (top/bottom, moving away).
• Convection → middle circular arrows (inside the object, fluid movement).
• Conduction → orange line (handle, direct contact transfer).

Answer:

• Radiation: Drag to the wavy red arrows (top and bottom, moving away from the object).
• Convection: Drag to the middle dashed square with circular arrows (inside the object, fluid circulation).
• Conduction: Drag to the orange wavy line (from the object through the handle to the hand).
