Answer: Radiation

Explanation: Radiation is the energy that comes from a source in form of electromagnetic waves, subatomic particles, light, or heat which travels through space.

Examples of radiation include the light, heat, and particles emitted from the Sun.

Using a foil barrier to prevent heat transfer is possible because foil has a silver color, and silver reflects light and heat instead of absorbing them. This is the opposite of black surfaces that absorb heat.

So in homes where these foil reflective barriers are used, the transfer of heat through Radiation is highly reduced.

Given a die, would it be more likely to get a single 6 in six rolls, at least two 6s in twelve rolls, or at least one-hundred 6s
vichka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In first case we are interested in one time 6 in six rolls

Thus probability = number of chances required/Total chances

= 1/6

Similarly in the second case probability = 2/12 = 1/6

In the same way in last case probability = 100/600 = 1/6

The probability is the same . Thus all the cases has equal chances
