Question

A block of ice :

• A. Cannot radiate heat
• B. Can radiate heat but cannot absorb heat
• C. Can absorb heat but cannot radiate heat
• D. Can radiate as well as absorb heat

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Can radiate as well as absorb heat

A block of ice can radiate as well as absorb heat. At room temperature, the block of ice radiates less but absorb heat more. It's because the melting of ice is an endothermic process. So heat is absorbed in the endothermic process.
