Consider the below image: Which one of the below is like conduction?
A) the flame itself as conduction is a heat source
B) the waves because conduction is heat energy traveling in a wave form
C) the tumbling water because conduction is heat transfer by way of molecules moving
D) the hand on the metal handle because conduction is heat transfer between molecules within a substance

B) the waves because conduction is heat energy traveling in a wave form 
C) the tumbling water because conduction is heat transfer by way of molecules moving 
D) the hand on the metal handle because conduction is heat transfer between molecules within a substance

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy between molecules within a substance, and the hand on the metal handle is an example of this as heat is transferred from the metal handle to the hand through direct contact between molecules. The options A, B, and C refer to other forms of heat transfer such as radiation, electromagnetic waves, and convection respectively.
