Carlos wrote a list comparing conduction, convection, and radiation.
Method Characteristic Example
conduction rate of heat transfer depends on materials pot sitting on a hot burner
convection caused by density differences currents in the ocean
radiation can only travel in a vacuum heat energy from the Sun
Carlos made a mistake on his list. Which mistake did he make?
A.
Radiation can also travel through matter.
B.
Currents in the ocean are an example of radiation.
C.
Convection is also caused by electromagnetic waves.
D.
The rate of conduction is only dependent on time.
