Question

Explain how heat in the lava lamp is being transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact (in this case, metal coil contact with the "lava" at the bottom of the lava lamp). ... Radiation is the transfer of heat through energy waves (such as the sun heating the earth's surface, or in this case, a light bulb radiates heat to the bottom of the lava lamp.)
