energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles. in other words, it is heat that is tranfered through air, rather that through solids. example: the sun heating earth.

∙ 14y agoHeat can be transferred by radiation, this is EM (electromagnetic) and the most effective part of the EM spectrum is the infra -red
Heat transfer by radiation can happen in vacuum and does not necessarily require medium like convection or conduction heat transfer.

What is the methods of heat transfer?
Heat can be transferred in 3 ways: Conduction, or through direct contact, Convection, or transfer of heat through a fluid, or Radiation, or heat transfer through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What is similar to heat radiation?
We know that infrared radiation can transfer thermal energy (heat) from one place to another.
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur?
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur through vacuum (space with no particles).
What processes of heat transfer are affected with thermos flasks?
Conduction, convection and heat radiation.
What is heat transfer by radiation?
All objects transfer thermal energy by infra-red radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infra-red radiation it gives off. No particles are involved in radiation, unlike conduction and convection. This means that thermal energy transfer by radiation can even work in space, but conduction and convection cannot. One good example is the sun. Even though it is millions of kilometers away in space, we can still feel its heat. The thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.
What is the fastest heat transfer?
It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.
What is The heat transfer?
Radiation
What is heat transferred in?
Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.
What is radiation in heat transfer?
Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.
Is radiation the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid?
No, most forms of radiation have nothing to do with heat. Transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid is called convection.
What is the methods of heat transfer?
Heat can be transferred in 3 ways: Conduction, or through direct contact, Convection, or transfer of heat through a fluid, or Radiation, or heat transfer through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Which type of heat transfer occurs in the form of waves?
It is call radiation heat transfer. The radiation is photon and is the electromagnetic wave.
The sun heating a lake is what type of heat transfer?
It is heat transfer by radiation.
What are the three major modes of heat transfer?
The three major modes of heat transfer are; conduction, convection and radiation.
What kind of Heat transfer does not require matter?
Radiation
Is convection the main type of heat transfer?
No, in the universe radiation heat transfer is by far the largest transfer.
Which type of heat transfer would transfer heat through the bottom of a pot?
Radiation
