Does radiation happen in solids liquids or gases?
Radiation can occur in a vacumn.
What types of matter does convection occur?
Convection occurs mainly in the gaseous state, where heat is transferred through currents in air. Convection can also occur in liquids, however it is generally identified with gases.gas and liquid
How does heat loss occur?
It can occur through conduction, convection and radiation.
How does energy transfer from sun to the atmosphere?
radiation can occur through a vacuum
What does intraoperative heat loss occur through?
radiation, convection, conduction, and evaporation
How is heat transffered through space?
through thermal radiation, a type of electromagnetic radiation, convection and conduction could not occur because there are barely anything in space
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).
Why does conduction occur mainly in solids?
Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact. It is more likely to occur in soilds and liquids because the particles are closer and move slower.
Why does radiation not occur in Earth's mantle?
Simply put, the material that makes up Earth's mantle is opaque, so heat cannot pas through it by radiation.
What is the only way heat travels through a vacuum?
by radiation - convection and conduction cannot occur in a vacuum!
Where does radiation occur in a car?
No where.
What are the different types of heat transfer?
There are three types of heat transfer, namely conduction, convection and radiation. Heat is transferred until the reach a state of equilibrium. Conduction is basically the transfer of heat through a surface of contact, such as a fire to the base of a pot. We say that a material is a good or poor conductor of heat when heat travels quickly or slowly in that particular material. Good conductors of heat are metals whereas poor conductors of heat are rubber and Styrofoam. Conduction cannot occur in a vacuum. Convection is the transfer of heat through molecules. It can only occur in liquids and gases as there are relatively big spaces between the molecules. A convection current is where hot air rises and cold air sinks. Convection cannot occur in a vacuum. Radiation is the transfer of heat through a vacuum. Heat is transferred from the Sun to Earth through radiation.
