Solution

The statement that is not correct about radiant heat is: "I. Radiant heat cannot travel through a vacuum".

Radiant heat, or thermal radiation, can indeed travel through a vacuum. This is how the sun's energy reaches Earth.

The other two statements are correct. Rough surfaces do emit radiant energy better than polished surfaces, and dark surfaces absorb radiant heat better than bright surfaces.
