The type of energy transfer that can take place without matter present is radiation.
The correct answer is Radiation.
Radiation is the type of energy transfer that can take place without matter present. It is the process in which energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and heat. These waves can travel through empty space and do not require a medium to transfer energy.
To determine the correct answer, you could have used your prior knowledge of different types of energy transfer. Knowing that conduction and convection require matter to transfer energy, you can eliminate those options. Insulation, on the other hand, is not a type of energy transfer but rather a method used to reduce or prevent the transfer of energy. Thus, the only remaining choice is radiation.
