Does radiation require a heated liquid to transfer energy?
No. radiant energy (including heat) can pass though a vacuum.
Why does sound travel faster in dense material?
Dense materials usually mean the atoms are closer to each other. Sound waves travel by causing vibration and transfer of energy. The close the atoms, the easier it is to transfer the energy. As the result, sound travels fastest in solid, then liquid, the least in gas matters.
If a 150 gram iron bar is heated to 250c a second iron bar with a mass or 300 grams is heated to 250c which bar has the most thermal energy?
i would say that the 150 gram bar because the thermal energy will be able to travel around the bar quicker
The matter through which a wave transfers energy is called what?
Propagation medium? Though a wave doesn't need a medium to travel or transfer energy (sound waves do, but lightwaves don't). People used to think there was an ether in which light moved, but there isn't.
What is the best method of travel in Kenya?
travel by African Elephant is very effecient.
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.
Can radiation take place in a vacuum?
No. There is also the transfer of mass. All matter contains energy, thus the movement of mass in vacuum is another method of energy transfer. However, for transferring thermal energy, radiation is the only method that can take place inside a vacuum as it doesn't need particles to travel through where as conduction and convection do.
What does thermal energy travel through?
thermal energy travel through anything such as wires and even ice cubes! thermal energy can also be tranferred from one object to another by radation, conduction, and convection
How does thermal energy travel in radiation?
as eletricity
Why doesn't thermal radiation need a medium to transfer heat energy?
Thermal energy is an electromagnetic wave, as light is. Light (and other electromagnetic waves) travel best through empty space. They consist of an electric and magnetic field, that propagates as a wave.
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.
How does thermal energy get from place to place?
If there is physical matter between two points, then thermal energy (heat) can travel between them by means of conduction or convection. If there is no material in the path, or the material in the path is transparent in the infrared, then thermal energy can travel the path by radiation.
Does heat energy travel by convection?
That is one way thermal energy can be transferred.

How does thermal energy travel through solids?
Mainly by conduction.
How do the smoke travel inside the convection box?
thermal energy
What is the only way thermal energy can travel through solids?
The only way thermal heat can travel through a solid object is by conduction.
