Question

question 5 of 10 which kind of thermal energy transfer warms your hand when you hold a mug of tea? a. conduction b. radiation c. convection d. translation

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact. When you hold a mug of tea, heat is transferred from the hot mug (in contact with your hand) to your hand. Radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, like the sun heating the Earth. Convection involves the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) to transfer heat, like hot - air rising. Translation is not a form of heat transfer in this context.

Answer:

A. Conduction
