5. Cooling fins at the back of refrigerators. Why are they always painted black?
6.
7. Heat is a form of energy that is transmitted from a region of higher to lower temperature . Heat Moves!
8. IN 3 WAYS… CONDUCTION CONVECTION RADIATION Heat Moves!
9. They are three processes of heat transfer shown in the picture. 1 represents 2 represents 3 represents conduction . convection . radiation .
10. Conduction is transmission of heat through a material from the hot regions to the cold regions without any visible movement of the material. CONDUCTION

14. Conduction of heat through solids Observation : Observe the lengths of wax that have melted on the different rods in a given interval of time . Wood Iron Aluminium Copper

21. . Try This : Fill in the table appropriately Brass Wood Aluminium Air Foam Copper Iron Water Cotton Plastic Mercury Gold Good Conductors Good Insulators
22. . ANSWER : Fill in the table appropriately Brass Wood Aluminium Air Foam Copper Iron Water Cotton Plastic Mercury Gold Good Conductors Good Insulators (or Bad Conductors) Brass Aluminium Wood Air Copper Iron Foam Water Mercury Gold Cotton Plastic
23. Convection is the transmission of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) from the hot to the cold region by the circulating movement of the fluid. CONVECTION cool (higher density) hot (lower density) liquid or gas
51. Radiation is the transmission of heat from one place to another by means of infra-red radiation which can travel through vacuum or air Radiation
52. Rate of Emitting (giving out) and Absorbing Heat by Radiation is affected by: (a) surface temperature (b) colour and texture of the surface (c) surface area Radiation
53.
54. Radiation Why does the cork on the dull black surface fall off first? Ans: Dull black surfaces are good absorbers of heat, thus it melts the wax faster
55. Application of Radiation Good Emitters Poor Emitters Cooling fins at the back of a refrigerator painted dull black A shiny metal teapot and aluminum foil keep contents warm
56. Application of Radiation Good Absorbers Poor Absorbers Solar heating panels are painted in dull black paint to absorb heat from sun Houses in hot countries are painted in white or light-coloured paint , to keep them cooler . Light colours are chosen for clothes and cars in hot weather
