Solution
The correct option is B False
The given statement is false.
Definition of latent heat:
The term “latent” refers to the hidden. The heat needed to transform a solid into a liquid or vapor phase, or a liquid into a vapor phase, is known as latent heat. Latent heat is the amount of heat energy consumed or emitted during a phase change.
Examples of latent heat are,
The heat of freezing
The heat of vaporization
Thus, the given statement is wrong i.e., it is not visible energy.
The given statement is false.
