Question

In an iron rod the particles vibrate. If one end of an iron rod is heated, the vibrating particles transfer energy to neighboring particles which are not vibrating so violently.

What is this process called?

Answer 1

Conduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction. When a substance is heated, its particles gain internal energy and move more vigorously. The particles bump into nearby particles and make them vibrate more. This passes internal energy through the substance by conduction , from the hot end to the cold end.
