Answer:

when heat gets transferred through electromagnetic waves that move through

space

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiation refers to the movement of energy through space without a material medium of propagation.

Electromagnetic waves have the ability to travel through space without a material medium for propagation. For instance, the rays from the sun reach us on earth without any intervening medium. Heat from a furnace can affect an object some distance away from the furnace without an intervening medium.

These are all examples of radiation. Energy is propagated through space without the intervention of any material medium.
