State the mode/ different modes, of heat transfer, in the following situations:
a. A paper cup, full of hot soup, lying on the table.
b. Cooking vegetables in a pan.
c. Melting of a chocolate bar, in the school bag, on a hot day
d. Cooking food in a microwave oven


(a) A paper cup, full of hot soup, lying on a table - Convection

Here convection happens between the siup and surrounding air.

(b) Cooking vegetables in a pan- Conduction

The pan, which is in direct contact with the heat source, transfers the heat to the vegetables.

(c)- Melting of a chocolate bar, in the school bag, on a hot day- Conduction

Conduction of heat takes place from the bag which is in direct contact with chocolate.

(d) Cooking food in a microwave oven- Radiation

Here there's no direct contact between the heat source and object. So it is radiation
