Radon gas is a common form of radioactive material that occurrs in a home. It generally enters the home by seeping up from the ground through the basement or crawlspace. You can buy a test kit from a hardware store if you want to find out whether it is a problem in your home.

What energy transfers occur in a vacuum?

Radiation is the primary method of energy transfer that can occur in a vacuum. This includes the transfer of thermal energy (heat) through electromagnetic waves like infrared radiation. Conduction and convection, which depend on the presence of a medium to transfer energy, cannot occur in a vacuum.
