The heat you feel when you touch a hot stove is an example of: a) Radiation b) Conduction c) Convection

The heat you feel when you touch a hot stove is an example of conduction.

Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transferred through direct contact between particles of matter. When you touch a hot stove, the heat from the stove is transferred directly to your hand through the contact between the stove and your skin. This transfer of heat occurs because the particles in the stove are vibrating rapidly due to the high temperature, and these vibrations are passed on to the particles in your hand, making you feel the heat.

Radiation and convection are other methods of heat transfer, but they do not apply in this scenario. Radiation involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as the heat you feel from the sun. Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases), such as the way hot air rises and cold air sinks.
