Question

solar panels capture energy through__________. absorption conduction reflection radiation convection

Explanation:

Solar panels capture energy through radiation. Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves (such as sunlight). Absorption is the process of taking in a substance, but in the context of how solar panels get energy, it's the radiation (sunlight as electromagnetic radiation) that they capture. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact of particles, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases), and reflection is the bouncing back of waves (like light waves) from a surface. Solar panels work by capturing the sun's radiant energy.

Answer:

Radiation
