NEET Physics Transmission of Heat NEET PYQ-Transmission Of Heat

  • question_answer
    Which one of the following processes depends on gravity?                                       [AIPMT 2000]

    A)  Conduction

    B)                   Convection      

    C)  Radiation

    D)                   None

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [a] Conduction is the process of transmission of heat in a body from the hotter part to the colder part without any bodily movement of constituent atoms or molecules of the body.
    [b] In convection, the heated lighter particles move upward and colder heavier particles move downward to their place. This depends on weight and hence, on gravity.
    [c] Radiation is the process of transmission of heat from one body to another body through electronegative waves even through vaccum, irrespective of their temperatures.
    Hence, choice [b] is correct.
