A satellite floats in deep space with very high velocity. It will continuously lose heat by Correct Answer Radiation

Explanation:

Heat transfer

The science that deals with the determination of the rate of such energy transfer due to temperature difference are known as heat transfer.

Mode of heat transfer:

  1. Conduction
  2. Convection
  3. Radiation

Radiation

  • Radiation is the energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves.
  • Unlike conduction and convection, heat transfer in radiation doesn’t require a medium.
  • The heat from the sun reaches the earth via a radiation mode of heat transfer.
  • A satellite floats in deep space with very high velocity. It will continuously lose heat by Radiation.
  • The governing equation for radiation is given by:

Q̇  = σAT4

where σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2K
