← ScienceWhich outcome increases when superfluid Helium-4 transitions phases?
A)Thermal conductivity suddenly increases vastly✓
B)Viscosity begins to significantly markedly rise
C)Surface tension immediately decreases sharply
D)Compressibility drops nearing incompressibility
💡 Explanation
As superfluid Helium-4 enters its phase, energy transfer occurs via **second sound**, because the phonon mean free path increases greatly; therefore heat flow changes vastly from diffusion to wave propagation, rather than just convection.
