Radiation is a method of thermal energy transfer. It refers to the transfer of heat energy that moves–

• through empty space.

• when objects touch.

• only through solids.

• in the motion of fluids.

Conduction can only occur between two objects when–

• one object is less dense than the other.

• both objects are in physical contact with each other.

• one of the objects is made of a metal.

• both objects are exactly the same temperature.
