Answer 1

it is used in converting the solid phase into liquid phase only

Answer 2

Hey buddy here is ur answer.................

→ When the temperature reaches the melting point, the solid, absorbs energy and increases its internal energy.

→ At the same temperature, the solid :-D absorbs an energy called the latent heat of fusion to change its state to liquid.

→ After the solid melts, its temperature increases further if more heat is supplied.
