Thermal energy is supplied at a constant rate to a fixed mass of a substance that is initially solid. The graph shows how the temperature of the fixed mass of the substance varies with time. [Figure showing temperature vs time graph with segments W (rising temp), X (constant temp), Y (rising temp), Z (constant temp), then rising temp again]. In which sections of the graph does the substance absorb latent heat?
