Which energy transfer can take place with little or no matter present?
The type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter present is radiation.
Which method of energy transfer does not involve the movement of matter?
Energy transfer takes place by convection (the movement of hot air or other fluids due to diferences in densiity), conduction (transfer of heat through contact - caused by collisions between adjacent particles), or radiation (the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves such as light or infra-red rays).Radiation requires matter to create and absorb the EM waves, (i.e. you need a hot object to give off the IR waves) but the waves themselves can travel through a vacuum, so do not require matter to transfer energy.
The type of thermal energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter present?
radiation
Why is radiation the type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter?
Radiation can go right through empty space.
What transfers of thermal energy by the movement of matter from one place to another?
This mode of thrermal energy transfer is called CNVECTION.
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 is the movement of objects and substances from place to place is what energy?
Kinetic energy
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.

What do waves carry from place to place?
No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.
The movement of objects and substances from place to place is?
MOTION ENERGy
Is radiation a energy that's transmitted from one place to another by electromagnetic waves?
Yes, radiation is energy that is transmitted from one place to another by electromagnetic waves...hope i could help :)
