Question

Answer 1

hi

I think in both the cases the ice would melt. in the first case, the energy transfers through the process of conduction while in the other case, the energy is transfer in the form of waves

Answer 2

(hint: recall different modes of heat transfer. )

In first case , heat is transferred by the conduction and in the second case heat is transferred by the convection.
