On a clear sunny day, an object at temperature T is placed on the top of a high mountain. An identical object at the same temperature is placed at the foot of the mountain. If both the objects are exposed to sun-rays for two hours in an identical manner, the object placed on the top of a mountain will register a temperature:

(2) Convection

(3) Radiation                     

(4) Both (a) and (b)
