18. Which investigation would best show the transfer of heat energy without any type of matter as a medium?(1 point)
Responses

an investigation of conduction using collisions between particles
an investigation of conduction using collisions between particles

an investigation of radiation using a current within a fluid
an investigation of radiation using a current within a fluid

an investigation of radiation using electromagnetic waves
an investigation of radiation using electromagnetic waves

an investigation of conduction through movement of particles within a solid
The correct response is:

an investigation of radiation using electromagnetic waves
are you sure
Yes, I am sure. The best investigation to show the transfer of heat energy without any type of matter as a medium is through an investigation of radiation using electromagnetic waves. Heat energy can be transferred through radiation without the need for particles or matter to physically move and collide.
