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.

Which kind of heat transfer involves electromagnetic waves?

Radiation is the type of heat transfer that involves electromagnetic waves. In this process, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as heat from the sun reaching the Earth, or heat emitted by a fireplace warming a room.


The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?

Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).


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.


Does convection transfer heat by electromagnetic waves?

No, convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water, which carry thermal energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves transfer heat through radiation, not convection.


How can heat transfer to one matter to another?

Heat transfers through: Conduction=Transfers heat from one object to another ex:the hot frying pan is touched by you and you can feel the heat Convection=transfers heat in air


How the sun transfer energy to earth?

the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat


How does heat transfer in earth?

Heat transfers in the Earth primarily through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs through the Earth's crust and mantle as heat moves from the interior towards the surface. Convection involves the movement of hot magma in the mantle, creating the motion of tectonic plates. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves emitted by the Earth's core.


How do raidiators in homes transfer heat?

Radiators transfer heat by electromagnetic waves. The sun waves/rays send electromagnetic waves.


What heat transfers through empty space by light waves?

Radiant heat is transferred through empty space by electromagnetic waves, specifically infrared radiation. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through the vacuum of space, allowing heat to be transferred from the Sun to Earth.


What does radiation use that conduction and convection don't?

Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, while conduction transfers heat through direct contact between particles, and convection transfers heat through the movement of fluid or gas. Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat, making it effective in vacuum environments like space.


Which transfers heat from one object to another without transferring matter?

Radiation transfers heat from one object to another without transferring matter. This occurs through electromagnetic waves emitted by the hotter object and absorbed by the cooler object.


Is burning your finger a transfer by radiation?

When you burn your finger, it most often happens when you touch somethinghot, and the heat transfers to the skin by conduction.A much better example of burning yourself by radiation is sunburn.
