Question

Sample Response: No, thermal energy is not being transferred by radiation from the metal pan to the eggs in this image. The eggs are in direct contact with the metal pan, so thermal energy is transferred through conduction. Radiation transfers thermal energy by electromagnetic waves, not by direct contact.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.
