- The way a body reacts to incident radiation depends upon the absorptive, reflectivity and transitivity. These are functions of the type of material and its color. For example black color metal would reflect more radiation than a black coloured plastic.

What is the difference between radiant heat and convection heat?
In convection heat you heat the air first and then use the hot air to heat yourself. In radiant heat, the energy must be radiated directly from the heat element to your body. Note that radiant is much more directional.
What happens when you remove heat from a system?
what happens to a product when removed from the heat source?
What is the three ways heat can travel?
radiant, conductive, and convection.
Which method of heat transfer is the most important in a structure fire?
convection
What is a difference between heat energy and radiant energy?
Heat Energy is one FORM of Radiant Energy...it is not different.

What matches with radiant heat on the electromagnetic spectrum?
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that produces radiant energy is sometimes referred to as electromagnetic waves. It is not visible to the human eye.
What exactly is radiant energy?
the process by which heat is transfer from one body to another {in air} while using no medium is known as radiation or radiant energy.
In what form does radiant heat transmit?
Radiant heat transmits in the form of waves.
What is the three ways heat can travel?
radiant, conductive, and convection.
What is a body of gas that gives off tremendous amount of radiant energy in the form of light and heat?
A star.
Which method of heat transfer is the most important in a structure fire?
convection
What is radiant heat, how is it made, and where does it come from?
Radiant heat is wonderful. It takes heat from an energy source--such as electrical coils in a ceiling--and warms the surrounding area gently. In the case of ceiling radiant heat, the warmth gradually spreads through the room. Radiant heating in a floor is a better choice because heat rises.
Is radiant heat better than a traditional furnace?
In my opinion, radiant heat is better than a traditional furnace. You have more control over how much heat you want, and where you want the heat. Using radiant heat is also more cost effective.

What kind of heat is felt from the sun?
radiant heat.
