Question 26

A glass bottle containing hot tea is sealed and placed in a vacuum chamber. The thermal energy from the tea passes through the solid glass wall of the bottle to its outer surface, and then exits the outer surface into the vacuum.

How is the thermal energy transferred through the glass wall and then into the vacuum?

A

by conduction then convection

B

by conduction then radiation

C

by convection then radiation

D

by radiation then convection
