What is a mechanism that heat transfer does not need a medium to travel through?
Radiant heat (electromagnetic waves) does not require a medium. Sunlight, infrared light, microwaves are all radiant heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
What method of heat transfer does not require a medium to travel why is it important?
radiant For one thing, it's how heat energy from the sun reaches us.
What is the difference between radiant and sound energy?
Sound requires a medium, that is : sound is energy added to some mass whereas radiant energy is just energy.
Why don't light waves need a medium?
Light wave flows as a form of radiation. One of the basic characteristics of radiant energy is it don't need a medium. But If it flows through a medium, it won't raise the temperature of medium.
When waves travel from one point to another what is transferred through the medium?
When waves travel from one point to another energy is transferred through the medium. Waves are periodic vibrations or oscillations in a medium that propagate through the medium carrying energy in the form of the movement. Exceptions to this are light and gravity waves, which do not require a medium for propagation.
What statements is true in science studyisland?
Radiant energy does not require a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanism that heat transfer does not need a medium to travel through?
Radiant heat (electromagnetic waves) does not require a medium. Sunlight, infrared light, microwaves are all radiant heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Waves require a medium in order for energy to be transferred. waves can either travel through a medium or through empty space?
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
Can radiant energy us a medium to be transmitted?
One medium is electromagnetism.
What method of heat transfer does not require a medium to travel why is it important?
radiant For one thing, it's how heat energy from the sun reaches us.
A type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
What is the difference between radiant and sound energy?
Sound requires a medium, that is : sound is energy added to some mass whereas radiant energy is just energy.
What are the Other kind of forms of radiant energy?
Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The quantity of radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiant flux (or power) with respect to time and, like all forms of energy, its SI unit is the joule. The term is used particularly when radiation is emitted by a source into the surrounding environment. Radiant energy may be visible or invisible to the human eye. The term "radiant energy" is most commonly used in the fields of radiometry, solar energy, heating and lighting, but is also sometimes used in other fields (such as telecommunications). In modern applications involving transmission of power from one location to another, "radiant energy" is sometimes used to refer to the electromagnetic waves themselves, rather than their energy (a property of the waves). In the past, the term "electro-radiant energy" has also been used. Historically, the propagation of electromagnetic radiation was presumed to rely on a medium filling all space, known as the aether. Electromagnetic waves were presumed to propagate through this medium by inducing transverse electric and magnetic stresses and strains, analogous to those induced by shear waves propagating through a physical medium. In modern times, the propagation of electromagnetic waves has been shown not to require any physical medium, although some interpretations of general relativity can be viewed as implying that space acts as a kind of non-physical "medium" for light.

Light wave flows as a form of radiation. One of the basic characteristics of radiant energy is it don't need a medium. But If it flows through a medium, it won't raise the temperature of medium.
What exactly is radiant energy?
the process by which heat is transfer from one body to another {in air} while using no medium is known as radiation or radiant energy.
What are some important uses of radiant energy?
Radiant energy is the result of electromagnetic radiation. Some domestic uses include heating, solar energy and lighting. It can also be utilized inspection and treatment, sporting and separation, as a medium of control and as a medium of communication.
Is the suns energy radiant?
Yes. Here's a logical proof: There are three ways to transfer energy from place to place: --Conduction, --Convection, --Radiation. Conduction and convection need a 'medium' ... a substance to conduct or convect through. Radiation doesn't need anything to travel through. There is no medium ... no substance ... in the space between the sun and the earth, but heat and light from the sun reach the earth constantly. Since there is no medium for it to travel through, it can't be getting here by means of conduction or convection. The only possibility is radiation.
