Answer:

Radiation heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves. In the context of hot coffee in a glass cup, the hot liquid emits infrared radiation. Glass is partially transparent to infrared radiation, allowing some of the heat to escape through the cup in the form of electromagnetic waves, causing the coffee to cool over time.
