    There are three main heat transmitters, they are conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction of heat occurs when molecules increase in kinetic energy, the molecules vibrate and this vibration passes the heat to the surrounding molecules. Conduction only occur in solids. Convection is a type of heat transfer that only occurs with liquids and gases because it involves the liquids and gases physically moving, which a solid is unable to do. Convection happens when there is a difference in…

    Abstract This experiment is about the effect of microwave radiation exposure on the percent that radish seeds germinate. The hypothesis in this experiment is if the radish seed is placed in the microwave for 8 minutes, then the percent of germinated seeds would be the lowest out of all the times. This experiment is important because if something happens and radish seeds are exposed to microwave radiation people would be able to know if the radishes would germinate if they knew the time they…
