The investigation that would best show the transfer of heat energy without any type of matter as a medium is:
- an investigation of radiation using electromagnetic waves.
The investigation that would best show the transfer of heat energy without any type of matter as a medium is "an investigation of radiation using electromagnetic waves."
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through the emission of electromagnetic waves, such as light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Unlike conduction and convection, radiation does not require a medium or matter to transfer heat. It can occur through a vacuum, like in space.
To conduct this investigation, you would need a setup that allows for the generation and detection of electromagnetic waves. One example could be using a heat source that emits infrared radiation, and then measuring the increase in temperature of an object placed at a distance from the source, without any physical connection between them. This would demonstrate the transfer of heat energy through radiation.
