Physics
Heat energy is …………… during melting and it is …………… during freezing at a constant temperature.
- rejected, absorbed
- rejected, rejected
- absorbed, absorbed
- absorbed, rejected
Answer
absorbed, rejected
Reason — Heat energy is absorbed during melting, as the solid absorbs energy to change into a liquid while maintaining a constant temperature.
Heat energy is rejected during freezing, as the liquid releases energy to change into a solid while maintaining a constant temperature.
