Which process transfers energy primarily by eletromagnetic wave traveling through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation
How is heat transfered though space?
there are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer through space requires radiation, which involves the electromagnetic waves: gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave & radiowave.
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
Light energy travels in the form of?
They travels in the form of waves and are filtered through the Earth's atmosphere.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
How does heat from the sun reach earth?
through radiation
Why does the energy from the sun travel to earth by radiation instead of by covection or conduction?
The sun moves through the electromagnetic waves. Conduction and Convection transfers energy between differences in density.
What is the definition for ultraviolet radiation?
http://www.answers.com/library/Sci%252DTech%20Encyclopedia-cid-10387312 Ultraviolet radiationhttp://www.answers.com/ultraviolet+radiation?cat=technology#stency_0http://www.answers.com/ultraviolet+radiation?cat=technology#stency_1(electromagnetic radiation) Electromagnetic radiation in the http://www.answers.com/topic/wavelength range 4-400 nanometers. The ultraviolet region begins at the short wavelength (violet) limit of visibility and extends to the wavelength of long x-rays. It is loosely divided into the near (400-300 nm), far (300-200 nm), and extreme (below 200 nm) http://www.answers.com/topic/ultraviolet regions (see illustration). In the extreme ultraviolet, strong absorption of the radiation by air requires the use of evacuated apparatus; hence this region is called the vacuum ultraviolet. Important phenomena associated with ultraviolet radiation include biological effects and applications, the generation of http://www.answers.com/topic/fluorescence, and chemical analysis through characteristic absorption or fluorescence. See alsohttp://www.answers.com/topic/ultraviolet-radiation-electromagnetism. p.s. why go through all the trouble to go to answers or wikianswers.com and look for this question and since it wasnt asked or answered you posted it and waited until it was answered when you couldve just went to answers.com and typed ultraviolet radiation, where do you think i got it from.
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
What is it called when the sun transfers heat to the earth?
The sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation - solar radiation.
What wave that transfers energy through empty space?
Electromagnetic wave
