When you touch a metal spoon that has been sitting in a hot pot of soup, heat transfers rapidly from the spoon to your hand. This is an example of which type of thermal energy transfer?
AConduction
BConvection
CRadiation
DEvaporation
Explanation
📌 Conduction transfers heat through direct contact between materials (spoon → hand). No bulk fluid movement (convection) and no EM waves in vacuum (radiation). Evaporation is a phase change, not a fundamental transfer mechanism.
