Heat is a form of energy which transfers between bodies which are kept under thermal

interactions. When a temperature difference occurs between two bodies or a body with its
surroundings, heat transfer occurs. In this article, we are going to deal with the different modes
of heat transfer. Heat transfer occurs basically in three modes:

1. Conduction

2. Convection and

3. Radiation

RADIATION

Radiation is the third mode of heat transfer. This mode of heat transfer didnt require any
medium to occur. Every matter having a temperature above absolute zero will emit
energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and called radiation. It is the same way the
energy of the Sun reach us. The key features about radiation are it do not require any
medium and also laws of reflection is applicable for radiation.
Stefan- Boltzman Law:
Q = ATs
Where: Ts is the absolute temperature
of surface
is the proportionality constant.
