The scenario that shows radiation is: The air under a reading lamp is warmed.
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, and in this case, the lamp emits infrared radiation that warms the air directly in its vicinity. The other scenarios involve conduction (skillet) and convection (radiator).
