Carlos wrote a list comparing conduction, convection, and radiation.
Method
Characteristic
Example
conduction rate of heat transfer depends on materials pot sitting on a hot burner
convection caused by density differences
radiation
can only travel in a vacuum
currents in the ocean
heat energy from the Sun
Carlos made a mistake on his list. Which mistake did he make?
A Radiation can also travel through matter.
B The rate of conduction is only dependent on time.
C Currents in the ocean are an example of radiation.
D Convection is also caused by electromagnetic waves.
