Question

5. Which of the following statements are NOT true?

A. The three major mechanisms of heat transfer are: conduction, convection, and radiation
B. Conduction is the transfer of heat by mass movement or circulation with a substance
C. Convection is the transfer of heat by mass movement or circulation with a substance
D. Radiant energy can travel through the vacuum of space, meaning they do not need a
medium to travel through

Answer 1

B. Conduction is the transfer of heat by mass movement or circulation with a substance

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong choice is that conduction is the transfer of heat by mass movement or circulation with a substance.

Conduction involves transfer of heat between solid conductors of heat. The two bodies must be in contact with one another.

• There are three known mechanisms of heat transfer;
• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation

In convection, heat is transferred by the used of fluids and gases as they move from one place to another using mass circulation.

Radiation does not require any material. They can readily move through space.
