What is the difference between conduction and radiation?
radiation-energy transferred by waves or rays conduction-transfer of energy that occurs when molecules bump into each other (direct contact)
What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
Does heat being transferred to radiation when things touch?
No heat transfer through objects touching is called conduction. Transfer by radiation occurs when heat moves in the form of electromagnetic waves such as light or infrared rays. The warmth you feel from sunlight is an example of radiation.
Which type of heat transfer occurs in the form of waves?
It is call radiation heat transfer. The radiation is photon and is the electromagnetic wave.
How is energy transferred when object are in contact?
conduction occurs
What occurs between visible light and a small portion of electromagnetic energy?
UV radiation and infrared radiation bb
Is heat transferred from a microwave to the food is a example of conduction?
No. It is an example of radiation. The heat is transferred by microwaves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Conduction occurs when two objects of different temperatures are in contact or when different parts of an object have different temperatures.

Transfer of thermal energy of a hotter object to any cooler one is?
known as heat transfer, which occurs through three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between molecules. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
What produce electromagnetic radiation?
in physics, electromagnetic radiation occurs when charged particles have forces acting on them to accelerate them. Electrons are responsible for the force needed to create electromagnetic radiation.
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.

What forms of energy transfer does the vacuum prevent?
Sound, as this is a compression wave through a fluid (liquid or gas) or solid material. The electromagnetic spectrum finds a vacuum no trouble at all. cw: Vacuums prevent convection and conduction but do not prevent radiation.
Which type of heat transfer occurs in the form of waves?
It is call radiation heat transfer. The radiation is photon and is the electromagnetic wave.
What is EM radiation?
EM radiation is the energy propagated through free space or through a material medium in the form of electromagnetic waves. Examples include radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation exhibits wavelike properties such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, but also exhibits particlelike properties in that its energy occurs in discrete packets, or quanta. Though all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed, they vary in frequency and wavelength, and interact with matter differently. A vacuum is the only perfectly transparent medium; all others absorb some frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
What occurs when energy is transferred from light waves to?
absorption
