NEET Physics Heat Transfer Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Radiation is the only mode of heat transfer that can occur in a vacuum. | Reason (R): Radiation does not require a medium and is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
