Which of the following statements is/are true with respect to conduction?
Which of the following statements is/are true with respect to conduction?
The correct options are
B Atoms vibrate to transfer energy
D Heat energy gets transferred instantaneously
During conduction, the particle near the heating end absorbs energy and starts vibrating. During vibration, it collides with the nearby atoms and transfers energy to nearby atoms. In this manner with time energy gets transferred from one end to another. As we can see atoms are required, therefore conduction can’t happen in absence of atoms and when atoms are far apart.
Conduction is the process in which transfer of energy without the permanent displacement of atoms of the substance, i.e by transfer of vibrations to the surrounding atoms.
Only in the case of solids, the atoms are fixed and cannot displace permanently. So, Conduction is prominent in solids.
