Which outcome occurs when latent heat is supplied during melting?

💡 Explanation

The temperature remains constant because the energy input increases potential energy rather than kinetic energy during melting, a form of latent heat. Therefore the temperature plateaus rather than rising proportionally, or affecting vibrational energy significantly.
