Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.

Answer: The correct answer is radiation.

Explanation:

There are three method of transfer of energy: conduction, convection and radiation.

In conduction, there is no actual movement of the particle. There is conduction in the solid. Heat is transferred from hotter end of an object to cold end of the particle.

In convection, there is actual movement of the particle. Both liquid and gases can transfer heat energy by convection.

In radiation, it does not require particles in its transfer of energy. In the given problem, the light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of radiation.

Therefore, the option is A.

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.
