Q

refers to those turbulent circulations of steam and smoke which-replaces the normal flow of the products of combustion. Hot spots may develop during the extinguishment of the fire upsetting the thermal balance; such holes produced may mislead the investigator to believe that the fire originated at that
location.

Q

Heat transfered even when separated to a vacuum. It iscommonly applied to all kinds of electromagnetic-wave phenomena, The process in which energy such as heat and rgys of light is sent out from atoms and molecules as they undergo internal alteration. This energy travels in a straight line with the speed of light.
