Answer in complete sentences. You are heating up soup in a pan on the stove, while stirring the soup with a metal spoon. Although the spoon only touches the soup, and never touches the bottom of the pan, it becomes hot and burns your hand. Describe how the heat is transferred from the hot burner on the stove to the metal spoon. Be specific and give as much detail as you can. (6 points)
