Conduction is the transfer of heat in which
AHeat travels as electromagnetic waves
BParticles physically move and carry heat
CParticles vibrate and pass energy without moving
DHeat travels without any medium needed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Particles vibrate and pass energy without moving
1. The chapter contrasts conduction, convection and radiation.
2. In conduction, particles vibrate in place and pass energy to neighbours.
3. They do not bodily move from one end to the other.
4. So option A is correct.
