Answer 1

B

Answer 2

thats how we can feel the warmth of sunlight.... Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that can travel through the vacuum of space.

Answer 3

Don't just give the answer, explain it. @|infinity|

Answer 4

okok gimme a sec :P

Answer 5

In physics, radiation is a process in which energetic particles or energetic waves travel through a vacuum, or through matter-containing media that are not required for their propagation.

Answer 6

thats from a very trustable source!!
wikipedia!!

I would like to hear your arguement.. its quite interesting how thats wrong :P

Answer 7

Thank you, it's immature to just blantly give the answer. Having an answer won't help you learn anything, it just answers it for you.

Wiki is not "trustable", it's a site where anyone can edit the information given. It's very dangerous to use Wiki for questions, it can be edited to fool you, or someone could have edited it just to be annoying. I'd suggest checking multiple sites before giving an answer.
Especially since Study Island usually counts as a grade.

A. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that is not experienced on Earth.

Ofcourse it is experienced on earth!! sunlight !!

C. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that is experienced on Earth.

not really conduction and convection are also there..

D. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that is unable to travel through the vacuum of space.

radiation can definitely travel through space so this option is invalid too!!

B. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that can travel through the vacuum of space.
THIS IS THE LAST OPTION STANDING~! =D

actually ive conducted experiments on radiation in my school so i know what im talkin about ;)

GOOD LUCK !! =D
