Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Radiation can take place in vacuum too as radiation do not require any material medium for transfer of heat. It takes place by electromagnetic waves.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the radiation mode of heat transfer, heat energy gets transferred through all media and also through the vacuum. The heat energy gets transferred as electromagnetic waves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike conduction and convection, heat transfer by thermal radiation does not necessarily need a material medium for the energy transfer. In the case of thermal radiation from a solid surface, the medium through which the radiation passes could be vacuum, gas, or liquid.
