suppose you are outside on a hot day and you move into the shade of a tree. which form of energy transfer are you avoiding



Sagot :

Nuclear (from the sun) to thermal (the heat it gives off)

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

A sun transfers energy by radiation. However, there are three different modes of heat energy transfer -

a)  Radiation

b) Conduction

c) Convection

Since sun is a at a very far distance from earth, it cannot transfer its heat energy by conduction as for this mode of heat transfer two bodies need to be in touch with each other.

For convection mode of heat transfer a medium is required but for transfer of sun's energy (which is electromagnetic radiation) no medium is required.

Hence, Sun will transfer energy by radiation only.
