The heat from the candle is transferred to your palm primarily through conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects at different temperatures. In this case, the heat is conducted from the candle's flame to your palm as they come into contact with each other.
What else can I help you with?
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
You can feel the heat waves from a small electric heater on your hands and face even though the heater is on the other side of the room this is an example of?
conduction. Heat from the heater is transferred to the surrounding air, which then circulates and warms up the space. Your hands and face feel the heat as they come in contact with the warm air through conduction.
What is heat transfer through conduction?
Conduction refers to heat transfer through solids. It is due to conduction that if we heat one side of a rod and place our hand on the other side, we feel the heat.What, basically, happens is that at the point that you have heated the rod, the particles gain more energy. As the particles in a solid are fixed in their position - and can only vibrate - due to the increase in eneery, the particles vibrate faster about their equilibrium positions. When they vibrate faster, they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature. When these particles also start vibrating faster, the cycle is repeated and they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature as well. In this way, the disturbance is spread all over the rod, which is why you feel the heat on the other side of the rod, even though that side is not in direct contact with the heat.
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.
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.
What is the melting candle wax that is dripping down the side of the candle an example?
The melting candle wax dripping down the side of the candle is an example of a physical change. This occurs when the solid wax is heated and transitions into a liquid state due to the heat from the flame.
Why does the candle wax run down the side of a candle?
The wax runs down the side of a candle because the heat from the flame melts the wax, causing it to flow and drip down. This effect is influenced by factors such as the type of wax, the size and shape of the candle, and the environment's temperature.
Peter warms his hands by placing them at the side of the candle his hands gets heat mainly by what?
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 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.
What is the opposite side of the palm called?
The opposite side of the palm is called either llaw or bys.
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.
What is the upper side of palm called?
Dorsal side
What is the other side of the palm is called?
The other side of the palm is called the back of the hand.In medical terms it is known as the opisthenar.
What is the dorsal side of the hand?
the dorsal side of an organism is its top or back side. (the opposite is is ventral side).
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 changes of state occur when wax runs down the side of a candle?
The wax on a candle transitions from solid to liquid as it melts from the heat of the flame. As the liquid wax drips down the side, it cools and solidifies back into a solid state. So, the changes of state that occur are melting (solid to liquid) and solidification (liquid to solid).
