Question

7. For each of the situations below:
• List which of the three methods of heat transfer are happening in that situation. Some situations will 
use more than one way of transferring heat. Which of the methods do you guess transfers the most 
heat in that situation?
• For each method you find, describe how the heat transfer is happening. Example: if a hot cup is 
sitting on a cold desk, then heat is flowing via conduction from the hot cup to the cold desk. 
• If radiation is involved, explain what kind of light is being absorbed. (Remember, heat can be 
transferred by nonvisible light as well as visible light)

e) On a hot summer day, you jump into a swimming pool. 
f) You roast a hot dog over a fire.
g) Make up a situation of your own that includes at least two forms of heat transfer, and then describe how 
heat is moving in that situation.
