it means it will be attracted to heat
THES RES Yes
"sterile" means that all microbes have been killed by radiation or heat.
conduction, convection, radiation
thermal energy
Heat travels from the sun to the Earth through a process called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves such as light.
Those are three different means by which heat can travel. In convection, heat is carried by moving matter. In conduction, heat is transferred by means of a physical contact between two objects of different temperature. With radiation, energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation, usually in the infrared spectrum.
The word you are looking for is "radiation." The sun transfers heat to the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet rays.
No. Heat is infrared radiation ("infra" means "lower"). Lower frequency means longer wavelength. All radiation is captured by antennas that resonate at the frequency of the radiation. The "antennas" for visible light are electrons that use the radiation to jump into excited states and cause optical neurons to fire. The "antennas" of heat (infrared) are bigger -- they are molecules that jiggle faster when the radiation hits them. That jiggling is heat.
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
INFRARED RADIATION is also referred to as Heat Radiation.
radiation just means energy that travels. radio waves are just a type of radiation, so is visible light. anything that radiates, including heat, is radiation.
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
