Conduction

Question 1 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Which demonstrates conduction?

Answer
A
a marshmallow held over a fire
B
ice cream melting in the sun
C
cool feet walking across a hot pavement
D
a bulb releasing light energy

Explanation

Conduction transfers heat through direct contact. When cool feet touch hot pavement, heat moves from the pavement into the feet, so this demonstrates conduction. A marshmallow heated over a fire and ice cream warmed by the sun mainly involve radiation.
