Where is heat primarily transferred by radiation?

point 3 b/c Radiation allows heat to be transfered through wave energy, and if you see the chart on SI you can see the waves on the side of the glass


What type of energy transfer when warm air is blown by a furnace afn into one side of the room?

Heat is transferred as energy through air through convection.


What does it mean if something is a conductor of heat?

It means that heat is transferred fairly fast through it. (A metal bar is a good conductor of heat, while wood is not). For example, you will not be able to touch a metal bar whose one end is in a blazing fire. While you can easily hold a torch of which one side is burning.


What happens to the waste energy?

Energy is never removed from our universe. Most energy seems to dissappear but most likely it is being transferred to heat, light, force(mechanical), or potential energy as a side product to what the target energy out come was.


Can you heat up air in microwave oven?

Yes, you can heat air in a microwave oven, but the appliance isn't good at doing that. There are a few reasons for this. First, the microwaves will most effectively only heat the water vapor in air or water in something in the cavity (the cooking area). That means that thermal energy transferred into water vapor or something in the cavity that has water in it will have to be transferred to the air to heat that air. We also know that a microwave has a fan in it to keep the microwave generating component cool. The air is heated as it cooles the device, and that warm air is then ducted through the cavity and out another side of the oven. This happens continuously. The air in the cavity is constantly being "replaced" with other air. Heating air in a microwave is not something the device can do well.

He probably gets heat from light energy that then turns into heat energy.


What earth process would it be if you put your hand next to a candle flame it doesnt really hurt but if you put your hand directly above the flame you burn yourself?

The process of heat rising would be the earth process in force if a candle is touched on the side and it is cooler than a hand over the candle. The hand over the candle will get burned because of the direction of the heat of the flame.


Why does the candle wax run down the side of a candle?

Why paper placed on the top of a candle burns first than one placed on the side?

Because the flame travel upward, anything in the path of heat convection burn first. For information and fun fact, heat travel in 3 mode, conduction, convection and radiation. Thermal convection is heat travel with the medium, in this case, air mass. The heat from candle cause the air to expand and get lighter thus the air float up to the top side. Heat is then convected mostly to the top side. If the experiment would be repeated in space, there will be no different if the paper on the top or on the side would burn first.

If you have 2 candles Every candle lights for 60 minutes If you have to find the way to measure 45 minutes?

Start first candle from one side burning and second candle from two side burning. So second candle will take 30 min to finish. When second candle finished make first candle also to burn from both side. So now remaining of first candle will take more 15 min to finished. So total life of burning of fist candle is 45 mins.
