Question

Which of these describes conduction?

Question 3 options:

transfer of heat between two objects that are touching


transfer of heat by the actual movement of warmed matter


the process in which energy is emitted by one object, transmitted through space, and absorbed by another


the process in which energy is released by molecules breaking apart

Answer 1

The option that describes conduction is:

**transfer of heat between two objects that are touching**.

Conduction involves the direct transfer of thermal energy through collisions between particles in a material when they are in contact with each other.
