Explaion conduction, convection and radiation with examples.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Conduction : In is a mode of transfer of heat from one part of the body to another , from particle to particle in the direction of fall of temperature without any actual movement of the heated particles.
Ex: When one end of a metal rod is heated its other end becomes hot . Here, the heat goes from hot end of the metal rod towards cold end by conduction .
Convection : It is a mode of transfer of heat from one part of the medium to another part by the actual movement of the heated particles of the medium .
Ex: Seabreeze, Tradewind , etc .
Radiation : It is a mode of transfer of heat from the source to the receiver without any actual movement of siurce or receiver and also without heating the intervening medium.
Ex: Heat from sun comes to us through radiation . On standing near fire, we feel hot as heat comes to us though radiation .

A glass full of hot milk is poured on the table. It begins to cool gradually. Which of the following is correct? (a) The rate of cooling is constant till milk attains the temperature of the surrounding. (b) The temperature of milk faills off exponentially with time. ( c) While cooling, there is a flow of heat from milk to the surrounding as well as from surrounding to the milk but the net flow of heat is from milk to the surrounding and that is why it cools. (d) All three phenomenon, conduction, convection and radiation are responsible for the loss of heat from milk to the surroundings.
