Lower Sec Science · Secondary 2 · Medium · Conduction
A metal spoon is placed with one end in a cup of hot tea and the other end sticking out. After a while, the exposed end feels warm. Which process mainly transfers heat along the spoon?
- Conduction, because heat travels through the solid spoon.
- Convection, because warm tea moves up the spoon.
- Radiation, because heat is carried by infrared waves inside the spoon.
- Evaporation, because water vapour heats the spoon.
