How is heat transfer by radiation different form heat transfer by convection and conduction?
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
Does Floor Insulation reduce conduction convection or Radiation?
Consider for a moment how each form of heat energy is transmitted.Conduction requires contact, physical connection between the heat source and the conducting material and the receiver. A conventional electric stove element is a good example of this. As the floor is not floating in air, some conduction of heat does occur, it is difficult to insulate from completely, but the transfer is negligible.Convection is the transfer of heat via a fluid matrix. Think air conditioner coil here. Another example of convection transfer is seen in a convection oven where the fluid matrix is heated air.Radiation is the transfer of any form of energy by excitation of atoms or molecules. A microwave or the infrared heat energy of the sun are good examples of this. However, occasionally radiation doesn't need medium for transfer.In many case heat is transferred through combinations of two or even the three heat transfer modes: conduction, convection, and radiation.Homes are insulated to prevent conduction of heat or cold by contact with heated or cooled air.
Why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?
Heat will move from what is hotter (the iron) to what is cooler (the shirt). This is called heat conduction. Conduction is the most common form of heat transfer and occurs via physical contact. Examples would be to place your hand against a window or place metal into an open flame.
Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of particles?
No! radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter?
Energy transfer by radiation.
Would it be wrong to refuse a hug from an enemy?
If an individual desires physical contact with you, in any form, and you do not desire physical contact it is okay to say no. An individual should never allow physical contact unless they are completely comfortable with said contact.
Will be transfer or will be transferred?
"Will be transferred"; a passive voice verb form always requires the past participle of the prinicpal verb, and the past participle of "transfer" is "transferred".
How do ants locate sucrose?
Sucrose is a form of sugar that ants would be attracted to. An ant can locate sucrose by coming into physical contact with it.

Is the transfer of heat energy in the form of waves?
No, the transfer of energy in the form of invisible waves is radiation.Have a awesome day !!! :)Conduction is the transfer of heat by contact, molecule to molecule.
The type of energy transfer that takes place between objects in direct contact is called what?
Energy is mainly transferred in the form of heat. So,transfer of heat energy from one body to another by direct contact is called thermal conduction.
Is conduction uneven heating of the earth's surface?
No. Conduction is a form of heat transfer through matter via direct contact.
Is playing hockey good for you?
Hockey requires physical movement and is a great form of exercise, which is necessary to leading a healthy lifestyle.

What is contact in dance?
Contact movement is a dance technique which points of physical contact provide the starting point for exploration through contact with movements and improvisation.Contact improvisation is a form of dance improvisation and is one of the best-known and most characteristic forms of postmodern dance. :)
