Which would be best categorized as heat transfer by conduction?
A) Wearing a white shirt to stay cool on a summer day.
B) Cooling a burn on your hand by running your hand under cold water.
C) Feeling the heat from a light bulb with your hand when touching the bulb.
D) Feeling the heat from a light bulb while holding your hand from 6 inches away.

Respuesta :

The answer is C) Feeling the heat from a light bulb with your hand when touching the bulb. :)

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two substances or objects are at different temperature and heat from object 1 flows to object 2 when both of them are placed touching each other then this process is known as conduction.

For example, when we touch a light bulb then heat from the bulb flows into the hand.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, feeling the heat from a light bulb with your hand when touching the bulb is best categorized as heat transfer by conduction.
