How is radiation different from the other types of heat transfer?
The question asks only about the differences between radiation heating and convective heating. Refer to other answers concerning a description of these two types of heating. The differences between radiation and convection are:In radiation heating, the radiation itself is the source (but not necessarily the only source) of thermal energy, whereas in convection heating, a separate, external source is required to create the convective currents - that is, the currents themselves are not the source of the heat, they only transport the heat throughout the liquid being heated.Radiation heating can occur at distance - a heat lamp, for example, can keep something warm without coming into contact with the substance. In convection, the warmer and cooler liquids must be in contact with each other in order to create convective flow.Radiation will heat plasma, gas, liquid, or solid. Convection works only on liquids, including gasses.Radiation does not require a medium - light can pass through a vacuum and still heat up the target object. Convection requires a liquid medium through which heat can transfer through motion of the liquid.Radiation requires no motion of the target object in order to heat that object. Convection, by definition, requires the warmer liquid to rise and the cooler liquid to sink in order to create convective currents.Radiation will heat an object in a weightless or zero gravity environment. Convection cannot occur in a weightless of zero gravity environment, because there is no 'up' or 'down' in such environments in which a convective current can flow.Radiation tends to heat objects from the outside in. Convection tends to heat things from the bottom up.
What is the energy transfer for a lamp you plug into the wall?
electrical mechanical
What kind of energy does a heat lamp give?
heat and light energy
What is the insulator of a lamp?
The insulator of a lamp is the glass because it helps protect people from the heat.
The warmth you feel when standing beneath a heat lamp is an example of what?
Radiant heat.
Heating food under a heating lamp is an example of heat transfer by?
convection
French fries are placed under a heating lamp at the restaurant how will most of the heat be transferred from a lamp to the fries?
electromagnetic waves will transfer thermal energy from the lamp to the fries
French fries are placed under a heating lamp at a restaurant how will most of the heat be transferred from the lamp to the fries?
electromagnetic waves will transfer thermal energy from the lamp to the fries
What does the light bulb in the heating lamp represent?
Heat source.
How does a heating lamp heat food?
Heat lamps are just infra-red ray emitter. In simple terms they release waves containing energy. As these infra-red waves reaches the food, they transfer into heat energy and thus heating the food. In summary light energy turns into heat energy.
Is a lava lamp an example of heat transfer by convection?
Yes
Food being warmed by infrared light is heat transfer by?
Thermal Radiation.Radiation.There are three main types of heat transfer methods in Thermodynamics. Radiation, Convection, and Conduction. Food warmed by infrared light is heat transfer by radiation. What you feel coming from the infrared lamp is radiant heatenergy.
I have a leopard gecko and I recently added slate tile to her terrarium. I have a heating pad but it doesn't work well with the slate. Will a heating lamp be a good idea for an all time heating source?
Yes, a heating lamp is an alternative source of heat for your leopard gecko.
Alcohol lamp function?
it can mesuer how much alchohol is in you bloud
What would be more expensive a heat lamp or a heat pad?
It depends on where you get it and what company manufactures it. For hermit crabs or amphibians, I suggest a heat lamp, maybe WITH a heating pad. But if you have a lizard like an anole, you should definitely get both.
Do leopard geckos need a heat mat and lamp?
Yes, most likely. it really depends on which type of gecko you have. I have a leopard gecko, and it does require a heating lamp. But if it is really hot or cold, matching your gecko's temperature need, then you usually don't need one. You can ask a vet or a pet store worker for information.
Which type of energy is being used in a lamp?
Light and heat energy
