Option 4 : The thermal conductivity of the tray
Concept:
- Heat is transferred between a system and its environment when its temperature differs.
- When we touch the ice tray, heat is transferred from our finger to the ice.
- Energy is transferred by thermal conduction.
- When you touch the ice tray, heat will transfer from your finger to the bit of ice and the ice melts results in a thin film of water between the finger and the tray.
- Again the water film will freeze because the tray is so cold. Thus an icy bond will create in between the tray and your finger.
- That is the reason, your finger sticks to an ice tray just taken from your refrigerator.
