Does heat transfer by radiation need a material medium ?

Right or wrong . If wrong , write the correct sentence : Heat flows from an object at higher temperature to an object at lower temperature .

Two metallic spheres S_1 and S_2 are made of the same material and have got identical surface finish. The mass of S_1 is thrice that of S_2 . Both the spheres are heated to the same high temperature and placed in the same room having lower temperature but are thermally insulated from each other. the ratio of the initial rate of cooling of S_1 to that of S_2 is

How heat transfer occurs through radiation in absence of a medium?

True or False. Work has to be done against the electric field to take a positive charge from a point of lower potential to a point of higher potential.

Statement-1 : In a Meter Bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now, the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance. Statement-2 : Resistance of metal increases with increase in temperature.

Two rods (one semi-circular and other straight) of same material and of same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points A and B are maintained at different temperature. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of a semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a cross section of the straight red in a given time is
