Question

question 10 of 25
two kittens are sleeping in a sunny spot. they are relying mainly on what kind of heat transfer?
a. radiation warming
b. convection heating
c. thermal conduction
d. chemical heating

Explanation:

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy by electromagnetic waves. The sun emits infrared radiation which warms the kittens when they are in the sunny spot. Convection involves heat transfer through fluids in motion, conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, and chemical heating involves heat released from chemical reactions. None of these apply as directly as radiation in this case.

Answer:

A. Radiation warming
