How is heat conducted through a glass wall of vaccuum glass?

Heat is conducted through a glass wall of vacuum glass by the process of conduction. In vacuum glass, there is a vacuum layer between two glass panes that inhibits heat transfer through convection and conduction, making it an effective insulator. Heat is mainly conducted through the glass itself, with minimal heat loss due to the vacuum layer providing insulation.


Is vacuum the only medium for light to travel?
