(N/A) Radiation is the process of heat transfer in which energy is emitted by a body in the form of electromagnetic waves,which can travel through a vacuum without the need for any material medium.
Radiant energy is the energy carried by these electromagnetic waves. When this energy falls on a body,it is partially absorbed,reflected,or transmitted. The part that is absorbed increases the internal energy of the body,thereby raising its temperature.
