Best Answer

Conduction cannot occur within a vacuum because it requires a substrate (i.e. matter) for energy to be transferred.

What type of energy transfer causes puppies and kittens to pile together?

i think its conduction im not sure i have the same question in school but i think its conduction because they have direct contact which is conduction so i think im right


Does conduction require a medium?

Yes. Conduction involves the transfer of thermal energy without any movement of the material medium. For example, when one end of a metal rod is heated, the atoms at that end of the red vibrate more vigorously (gain kinetic energy), and they will collide with the neighbouring less energetic atoms and transfer its kinetic energy them and so on. Without these particles, thermal energy cannot be tranferred through conduction. The only form of thermal energy transfer which does not require a material medium (i.e., the atoms and molecules) is infrared radiation.


How is radiation different from conduction and convection?

Radiation does not need any material medium to be propagated. It can even pass through vacuum. Whereas the conduction and convection need the material medium in which the atoms take the important role to transfer heat from one region to the other region.Radiation can transfer energy as heat through empty space.


What is the difference between transpiration and aspiration?

Aspiration is something that you can believe or think. Transportation is a way you get from one place to another. Transpiration can also refer to the movement of matter between cells, and aspiration can also mean inhalation.

I don't think Conduction involves the movement of matter but it does involve matter.


Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?

Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through

What is canvection and what is coduction?

I think you mean convection and conduction. The first is the transfer of energy through a fluid and the second through a solid. The third way, through a vacuum, is radiation.

Does hole exists practically in conduction of current?

A hole is a place where an electron is missing. Such places exist; and for practical purposes, it is convenient to think of them as independent positive charge carriers.
