Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radiation refers to heat loss through electromagnetic waves. Placing the campers in an air-conditioned building where the air temperature is cooler than their skin provides heat loss through radiation. Loss of heat through air currents such as from a fan would induce heat loss via convection. Taking a cool shower would provide heat loss from conduction where heat is transferred in molecule-to-molecule contact. Reduced muscle tone and activity might produce a minor amount of heat loss because of lowered heat production.
