What kind of radiation are microwaves?
microwave radiation is called "electromagnetic" radiation
What is the difference between electromagnetic waves and radiation?
No difference at all. Radio waves are one of many types of electromagnetic waves.
How does radiation travel?
The radiations are electromagnetic waves ,they don't require any medium for their travel.
What is the methods of heat transfer?
Heat can be transferred in 3 ways: Conduction, or through direct contact, Convection, or transfer of heat through a fluid, or Radiation, or heat transfer through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Which celestial bodies influences earth tides?
By their gravitational forces and; 3) by their electromagnetic radiation. The Sun affects the Earth by its gravity which keeps the Earth in its orbit, and as I discussed in the section under Moon-Tides, by raising tides in the rocky and watery components of the Earth.
How are the 3 forms of radiation from the sun alike?
they are all forms of radiation
Which radiation is longer micro waves and radio waves?
"Microwave" IS radio waves. They're called microwaveswhen their frequency is 3 GHz or higher.
3 examples of radiation?
sun microwave bowl
What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
Radiation, conduction and convection
What are 3 ways in which thremal energy can be transfered?
Heat is transferred through Convection, Conduction, and Radiation. Convection is heat transferred through a liquid medium such as air, as felt from your furnace. Conduction is through a solid medium. One instance of this takes place through the bottom of a cooking pan. Radiation is transferred through a void in the form of low frequency light waves, or infra-red radiation. This can easily be observed by moving in and out of a shadow into the sun. The air temperature around you remains constant, but you instantly feel the heat of the sun. That's from the sun's radiation.
Is infrared radiation the longest wavelength?
No, in a vacuum infrared radiation has a wave length of between 10^-6 and 10^-2 while radio waves have 10^-1 and beyond and long radio waves have a length of 10^3 and beyond.
What 3 sources give off radiation?
The sun (it radiates heat), plutonium, and radium.
What kind of radiation are microwaves?
microwave radiation is called "electromagnetic" radiation
What is the difference between electromagnetic waves and radiation?
No difference at all. Radio waves are one of many types of electromagnetic waves.
How are the 3 forms of radiation from the sun different?
they are different because they have different knds of energy and gases!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can Heat can be transferred through a vacuum?
There are three ways to transfer heat:1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation Only the third way works in the case of a vacuum. In this third way, the radiation in question is electromagnetic waves - usually infrared (it depends on the temperature of the object). Just like light - which is also an electromagnetic radiation - other electromagnetic waves travel especially well through empty space.
Where is heat primarily transferred by radiation?
point 3 b/c Radiation allows heat to be transfered through wave energy, and if you see the chart on SI you can see the waves on the side of the glass
