NEET Physics Heat Transfer Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Convection is a mode of heat transfer that requires a medium. | Reason (R): Radiation can transfer heat energy without any medium.
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.
A is false, but R is true.
