Radiation:

  • The process of the transfer of heat from one place to another place without heating the intervening medium is called radiation.
  • Radiation takes place by electromagnetic radiation.
  • All bodies radiate thermal radiation above absolute zero temperature.
  • The rate of radiation is more at higher temperatures.
  • Hence, option 4 is correct.

 Additional Information

  • The wavelength range of thermal radiation is from 7700Å to 4 × 106Å.
