No. Radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons (wave-particle duality). No matter is moved in this process.

Does radiation transfer energy by moving neutrinos?

Neutrinos are one form of radiation, but not a very efficient one for transferring energy since they readily penetrate most forms of matter. Other forms of radiation such as alpha, beta, gamma, and even neutrons are more effective at energy transfer.


What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?

Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.

How does the transfer of energy in the radiative zone differ from the transfer of energy in the convective zone?

In the radiative zone, energy moves from atom to atom in the form of electromagnetic waves, or radiation. Energy produced in the core moves through this zone by convection, the transfer of energy by moving liquids or gases.

How thermal energy travel?

Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.

how does the energy from space the sun travel through space to the earth?

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.


What process is a method of heat transfer but it does not contribute to the moving heat energy in and around the earth?

There are three means of heat transfer, Convection, conduction, and radiation. All three occur to some degree in all heat transfer processes.


When waves travel through water why do the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position?
