In winter the air just above the top bunk of a bunk bed is warmer than the air just above the bottom bunk because warm air rises. Which of the following describes the method of heating that causes this difference in temperature?A radiation from the roomB heat transfer through the wallsC heat conduction through the bedD convection currents from the room
Question
In winter the air just above the top bunk of a bunk bed is warmer than the air just above the bottom bunk because warm air rises. Which of the following describes the method of heating that causes this difference in temperature?A radiation from the roomB heat transfer through the wallsC heat conduction through the bedD convection currents from the room
Solution
The method of heating that causes this difference in temperature is D: convection currents from the room.
Here's why:
- Convection is the heat transfer due to the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including air and water.
