The latent heat for a change between solid and liquid is called the latent heat of:

AFusion
BFission
CFriction
DFraction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Fusion
1. Latent heat takes a different name for each state change. 2. Melting and freezing are the solid to liquid pair. 3. The latent heat for a solid to liquid state change is called the latent heat of fusion. 4. The liquid to gas change is the latent heat of vaporisation. _Source: syllabus Physics Part II, Ch 10 'Thermal Properties of Matter'_
