Question

When you burn your finger by touching a hot stove, you have experienced heat transfer by

reflection

refraction

convection

conduction

Answer 1

Conduction. :)

Answer 2

Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring molecules. Think of a frying pan set over an open camp stove. The fire's heat causes molecules in the pan to vibrate faster, making it hotter.

Answer 3

Our skin is in fact a semi conductor; conducting heat is sort of the same as when you get shocked. Only difference is when you get shocked your conducting electricity. ^ I agree with Loveit :)
