Does the transfer of thermal energy by radiation require matter?

Now, this question has two answers. To give rise to, and to absorb, thermal radiation, matter is needed. Energy in the form of gravitational or electromagnetic fields neither emits nor absorbs thermal radiation. However, thermal radiation, an electromagnetic wave, does not need matter to transverse space.


What is heat transfer by radiation?

All objects transfer thermal energy by infra-red radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infra-red radiation it gives off. No particles are involved in radiation, unlike conduction and convection. This means that thermal energy transfer by radiation can even work in space, but conduction and convection cannot. One good example is the sun. Even though it is millions of kilometers away in space, we can still feel its heat. The thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.
