Heat transfer in vacuum occurs by MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat transfer in vacuum occurs by
A. Convection
B. Conduction
C. Radiation
D. Both conduction and convection
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Radiation does not require medium; it travels via electromagnetic waves. Conduction needs medium for molecular collisions, convection needs fluid motion. Sun's heat reaches Earth by radiation through vacuum of space.

Question #2
Which of the following is a fundamental unit in the SI system?
A. Pascal
B. Candela
C. Joule
D. Newton

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The seven fundamental SI units are: metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), and candela (cd). Candela is the unit of luminous intensity. Newton, joule, and pascal are derived units. Newton = kg·m/s², joule = kg·m²/s², pascal = kg/(m·s²). Hence, candela is a fundamental unit. Exam tip: Remember the acronym ‘MKS A K M C’ for the seven base units.
