Question

Ice cubes are placed in a glass of water to cool the water the cooling effect to the ice in the water is due to heat being transferred in which of the following?(1) From the water to the ice by conduction

(2) From ice to the water by radiation

(3) From the water to the ice by radiation

(4) From the ice to the water by conduction

Answer 1

The cooling effect that occurs when ice cubes are placed in a glass of water is primarily due to heat being transferred from the water to the ice by conduction.

So, the correct option is:

(1) From the water to the ice by conduction

Conduction is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between two materials at different temperatures. In this case, the water is at a higher temperature than the ice, so heat flows from the water to the ice through direct contact, causing the water to cool down and the ice to melt.
