Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The heat absorbed by melting a solid is known as
A
latent heat of fusion
B
latent heat of solid
C
latent heat of liquid
D
latent heat of vaporisation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The latent heat associated with melting a solid or freezing a liquid is called the heat of fusion; that associated with vaporizing a liquid or a solid or condensing a vapour is called the heat of vaporization .

Detailed explanation-2: -Latent heat (also known as latent energy or heat of transformation) is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process-usually a first-order phase transition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance’s temperature to the melting point.
