solar oven quiz

Question 1

The property of a material that determines how well it conducts/transmits heat. (Examples: Metal generally has a high thermal conductivity, plastic generally has a low —)

Answer 1

thermal conductivity

Question 2

A resource that is not replaceable after

Answer 2

non renewable resource

Question 3

Heat flow due to the contact of two objects or within a solid object.

Answer 3

conduction

Question 4

The amount of power received on the Earth’s surface per unit area. (watts per square meter in the SI unit system)

Answer 4

solar radiation/insolation

Question 5

Heat flow due to fluid movement such as water.

Answer 5

convection

Question 6

emissivity

Answer 6

A property of the surface of an object that determines how much electromagnetic energy is reflected and how much is absorbed by an object in the form of heat.

Question 7

Energy transferred through the movement of electromagnetic waves; heat transfer not requiring a medium.

Answer 7

radiation

Question 8

A material that does not conduct heat very well and has a low thermal conductivity. (Examples: A good jacket, fiberglass insulation, a sleeping bag, anything with air trapped in it.)

Answer 8

insulation

Question 9

renewable resource

Answer 9

A resource that is inexhaustible or replaceable by new growth; limitless supply. (Example: Solar energy.)
