Induction heating is the process by which a material (usually metal) is vibrated via electromagnetic waves, exciting the metal molecules, which causes the metal to heat up (even up to the metal's melting point). This type of heating is much more efficient than other types, because the heat is generated in the metal itself so there is much less heat lost compared to the more common filament heating systems. Induction heating is used mainly in stoves (ranges) and for industrial applications.

The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
Which kind of heat transfer involves electromagnetic waves?
radiation
How is heat transfered though space?
there are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer through space requires radiation, which involves the electromagnetic waves: gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave & radiowave.
How the sun transfer energy to earth?
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
How do raidiators in homes transfer heat?
Radiators transfer heat by electromagnetic waves. The sun waves/rays send electromagnetic waves.
Are heat waves electromagnetic waves?
Heat waves are the same as infra-red radiation; however it is the more specific name. Electromagnetic waves range from Radio Waves to Gamma Rays so, technically, the answer is no.
What transfers heat in the form of rays or waves?
RADIATION
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
Which type of waves from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heating sensing devices?
Infrared waves from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices.
What describes a source of radiation heat?
The sun sending out electromagnetic waves.
What are the three electromagnetic waves in the home?
micro waves, gamma rays, and heat waves
What is heat by electromagnetic waves called?
The transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation is called thermal radiation. It is usually carried out by electromagnetic waves in an energy range just below the visible spectrum, which is the infrared range.
