conduction

radiation

convection
Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.

4

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

273K

0°C

0°F

32°F
Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.

5

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?

57% Answer Correctly

convex lens

convex mirror

concave lens

concave mirror
Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
