The use of fiberglass insulation in the outer walls of a building is intended to minimize heat transfer through the wall by what process?
A)conduction
B)radiation
C)convection
D)vaporization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fiberglass insulation reduces the rate of heat transfer through the outer walls of a building by minimizing conduction, which involves the transfer of heat through a material. The fiberglass material itself does not conduct heat well and serves as a barrier to heat transfer. Radiation and convection are not directly affected by the use of insulation, while vaporization is not a primary mode of heat transfer in this context.
