Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.

What type of thermal energy transfers occurs mostly in fluids?
convection
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
What occurs when an energy source transfers heat directly to another object through space an example would be an object becoming warm by sitting in the sunshine?
The answer to this question would be radiation.
What is photoelectric effect?
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenom that occurs when you fire a photon with high enough energy aggainst matter, and it expells an electron after absorbing the photon's energy.

What can the state of matter be changed by?
A change in the state of matter occurs when heat energy is added or removed.
What occurs when matter changes from a solid to a liquid?
You are adding heat/energy. It is melting.
What energy transfers take place in a torch?
The battery chemical energy transforms into electric energy that is demonstrated as light.
When light energy from the Sun strikes a leaf how is the energy conserved?
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
How do heat transfers by radiation?
Heat transfer by radiation occurs in the infra-red part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum, because matter emits and absorbs radiation with that range of frequencies.
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
What acts as a driving force for every endothermic process that occurs?
The spread of matter causing a concentration of energy.

Does Transferring money occurs when the government transfers money they collect to businesses and individuals?
Yes, the transfer of money occurs when the government transfers money it collects to businesses and individuals (in the form of subsidies, welfare, social security, etc.).
