It is called radiant heating. Heating coils or tubes that have been installed underneath a homes floor are heated up through a combination of radiation and convection. The heat then disperses through the home and stays distributed more evenly because the heat is constantly rising rather than just flowing through the air.

What happens to air heated by radiation?

When air is heated by radiation, the air molecules absorb the radiant energy and increase in kinetic energy, causing them to move more vigorously. This increased motion leads to expansion of the air, resulting in a rise in temperature.

Radiation require a heated liquid to transfer energy?

Radiation does not require a medium like a heated liquid to transfer energy. Radiation can transfer energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, and can travel through a vacuum. Heat transfer by radiation relies on the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves between objects.


What is heated by radiation?

Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely on any contact between the heat source and the heated object (as is the case with convection and conduction) Examples of radiation is heat from the sun or from the fliament of a light bulb

Is a wall fence heated by radiation?

A wall or fence can become heated by radiation if it absorbs sunlight and emits heat, but it is not inherently "heated" by radiation in the same way as a specific heating system would be. The heat generated would be passive and dependent on external factors like sunlight.
