Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?
Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.
What is required for conduction and convection but not radiation?
It is required in both that the pieces of matter are touching so that the heat travels through the matter and not empty space (Radiation)
In which form of heat transfer is a medium not required?
Heat transfer by means of radiation doesn't heat the medium. In fact, radiation doesn't even require a medium in order to work. Strictly speaking, convection doesn't heat the medium either. Convection transfers heat by moving the medium around. Of course, heat also spreads throughout the medium by conduction while the convection is going on.
How do you explain the difference between conduction convection or radiation can transfer heat explain?
It's a different way to transfer heat. One object emits electromagnetic radiation (for example, infrared - though it depends on the temperature); another object absorbs it. Heat transfer through radiation can occur in empty space; with conduction and convection, that's not possible.
What are 3 types of energy transfer?
The three types of energy transfers are: Conduction, the transfer by energy moving through a solid; Convection, the transfer of energy in a gas or a liquid; and Radiation, the transfer of energy through space. Conduction is how a stove warms the contents of a pan. As the pan heats up, the material inside in contact with the pan gets warm. Convection is what happens when a heater warms the air around it, causing it to rise, which creates lower pressure near the heat source, causing cooler air to flow in. Convection is a result of the differences in density resulting from differences in temperature. Convection does not work in a zero gravity environment. Radiation is how the Sun warms the Earth. Energy travels through empty space until it strikes the Earth, causing it to warm.
Why earth is heated by the sun through radiation and not by convection or conduction?
The space between Earth and the Sun is mostly empty (emptier than most vacuums in Earth laboratories, in any case).Convection and conduction require the presence of atoms.
How is heat transferred within the earth's atmosphere?
Heat in earth's atmosphere is transferred by: Radiation, Conduction, & Convection. ((:
What are 3 ways heat energy moves?
Conduction through solids, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through empty space.
What are 3 ways heat energy can move?
Conduction through solids, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through empty space.
What transfer energy through empty space is called?
Transferring energy through empty space is called radiation. There are three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Radiation is the only energy transfer that does not require a medium. Radiation is a wave of pure energy; one example of radiation is the sunlight that reaches Earth, which is electromagnetic radiation.
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.
What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
radiation
