Heating food under a heating lamp is an example of heat transfer by?

convection


What are the convection currents?

Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.


Is a lava lamp an example of convection?

yes


Food being warmed by infrared light is heat transfer by?

Thermal Radiation.Radiation.There are three main types of heat transfer methods in Thermodynamics. Radiation, Convection, and Conduction. Food warmed by infrared light is heat transfer by radiation. What you feel coming from the infrared lamp is radiant heatenergy.


What are convection currents?

convectional currents in the mantle are themselves driven by the heat of the core. the heat is partly created of overlaying material. A lava lamp is a perfect example of convectional


How do you get convention in a lava lamp?

The heat of the lamp causes the fluids to heat and expand. The two materials are of different thermal properties and are immiscible.The word you seek is convection.


What heat transfer is being used when a heat lamp is heating a box?

conduction


The warmth you feel when standing beneath a heat lamp is an example of what?

Radiant heat.

What is the depented variable of a lava lamp?

The independent variable is the heat of the light bulb, the dependent variable is the heat absorbed by the wax substance (or other convective liquid) which makes the substances in the lamp move due to density convection.


What does the liquid inside of a lava lamp consist of?

It is usually wax that melts as the lamp is turned on. When it is heated, it then begins to float around with the convection current created by the heat-generating lamp, thus creating the "lava" effect.
