Problem

A steel spoon has one end immersed in hot tea while the other end protrudes into still air. Which combination correctly lists the predominant modes of heat transfer (i) along the length of the spoon and (ii) from the exposed end of the spoon to the surrounding air? (a) (i)  Conduction,  (ii)  Radiation(i)\;\text{Conduction},\; (ii)\;\text{Radiation} (b) (i)  Radiation,  (ii)  Convection(i)\;\text{Radiation},\; (ii)\;\text{Convection} (c) (i)  Conduction,  (ii)  Convection(i)\;\text{Conduction},\; (ii)\;\text{Convection} (d) (i)  Conduction,  (ii)  Conduction(i)\;\text{Conduction},\; (ii)\;\text{Conduction}
