Therm means heat. Hence thermal energy is heat energy. Heat is sensed in the form of electromagnetic waves when transferred through free space. The same heat is sensed in the form of kinetic energy of molecules in case of fluids. The same heat is sensed in the form of vibrational energy in case of solids.
Being in electromagnetic wave if the frequency becomes less than that of visible then it is named as INFRA RED radiation. So there comes a possibility of conversion of radiations of higher frequency into lower frequency due to reflection phenomenon.
Hence the answer for the above question is TRUE.

How do you convert thermal energy into radiant energy?
i think you can not convert thermal energy into radiant energy
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.
Which form of energy is produced when paper is burned?
Thermal and radiant energy.
What do solar panels convert radiant energy into?
thermal
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

In what form is radiant energy reflected back into space?
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
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 the energy you get from the sun?
you get radiant and thermal energy. Solar power.
What is thermal energy called?
what energy is also called radiant energy
What is an example of thermal energy to radiant energy?
light bulb, the sun.
Which form of energy is produced when paper is burned?

What do solar panels convert radiant energy into?
thermal
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 radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?
Albedo
What does radiant thermal energy travels at the speed of?
light. Because it is light. Thus the radiant bit.
A burning fire produces what kind of energy?
Radiant and thermal
