What is a difference between heat energy and radiant energy?
Heat Energy is one FORM of Radiant Energy...it is not different.
Is the thermal energy an example of the solar energy?
the solar energy is the energy of sun and sun gives light and heat but the thermal energy is only a heat energy but radiant energy is light and heat energy so the answer will be no and the correct answer will be radiant energy
Is that light energy or heat energy of solar energy is converted into the electric energy?
A photocell converts light energy (radiant electromagnetic energy to be precise) into electrical energy. A thermocouple can convert heat into electrical energy. The radiant em conversion yields much more energy than a heat conversion.
What is the difference between radiant heat and convection heat?
In convection heat you heat the air first and then use the hot air to heat yourself. In radiant heat, the energy must be radiated directly from the heat element to your body. Note that radiant is much more directional.
What relationship exist between thermal and radiant energy?
Most sources of radiant energy, like the sun or lightbulbs, also emit thermal energy, which is heat.
What is a difference between heat energy and radiant energy?
Heat Energy is one FORM of Radiant Energy...it is not different.
What kind of energy is FIRE?
Heat and radiant energy
Is the thermal energy an example of the solar energy?
the solar energy is the energy of sun and sun gives light and heat but the thermal energy is only a heat energy but radiant energy is light and heat energy so the answer will be no and the correct answer will be radiant energy
What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?
Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
What energy is received from the sun?
Radiant energy (heat and light).
What is the energy received from the sun?
Radiant energy (heat and light).
What is a form of energy meaning heat?
radiant
Choose the term that matches this definition heat energy?
For A+, it's Radiant Energy.
How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?
By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.
What energy transformation takes place when you burn coal?
Radiant energy -> photosynthesis -> time, heat pressure = coalcoal gets burned- > heats water- > turns a turbine-> turns a generator -> produces electricity.
When heat energy is transferred by particles or waves, it is called _____.?
radiant energy
What energy is radiation?
Transfer of heat though waves.
