Heat can be transferred through three methods: radiation, conduction and convection.
Radiation is when heat is transferred through infra red radiation. This can be absorbed by water.
Conduction in when heat energy is transferred between touching materials. If you heat the end of a metal pipe the heat will travel up the pipe through conduction. Materials like metal are much better at conducting heat than insulators like wood.
Convection refers to when a gas or liquid moves as a result of being at a different temperature to the surrounding gas or liquid. Under tectonic plates the magma moves because of convection currents created by the fission at the earth's core (as opposed to fusion in the sun). If you put a heater in a corner of a room the air is circulated by convection currents caused when the hot air rises, cools and then falls back down again.
If this doesn't help then try the links I've added in the links section of this question. If it did help then why not recommend me (Kittsville).

∙ 13y agoThe object is warmed by the "heat" created when the infrared wave strikes the object. The type of material in the object determines how long this heat is stored and how fast is gives the heat away (latent heat)

∙ 9y agoIt is true that when an object absorbs light the light energy that is created is usually changed to heat. This was a theory that was proven by Sir Isaac newton.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe thermal energy of an object that absorbs light energy is increased. This is because light and heat are forms of energy, thus absorbing light will produce an increase in thermal energy.

Do all objects radiate energy?
yes. as long at the obj is above absolute 0, it has energy and hence will emit heat. whether there is a net heat gain or loss depends on the environment it is in. yes. as long at the obj is above absolute 0, it has energy and hence will emit heat. whether there is a net heat gain or loss depends on the environment it is in.
The silvered wall of a vacuum bottle takes care of heat flow by?
There is a silvering in the vacuum flask in order to reduce the loss of heat through the means of radiation.
Does a cold object still have heat?
Yes, it still has some amount of internal energy or "heat". Even considering the coldest objects in the universe, it is still impossible for an object to have no heat, and this theoretical state is known as absolute zero.
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum makes the sidewalk feel warm on a sunny day?
The sun emits all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The part that heats the sidewalk is the infrared region which is invisible and has a long wavelength. Dark objects absorb much more heat than lighter objects so that asphalt pavement will get much hotter than concrete.
What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
Do hot objects absorb infrared radiation?
All objects emit (give out) and absorb (take in) thermal radiation, which is also called infrared radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits. However; the hotter an object, the faster it will emit infrared radiation. Even though hotter objects can absorb infrared radiation, they will continue to emit infrared radiation much faster than they absorb it from any colder objects / sources around them, until an equilibrium is achieved with the objects surroundings i.e. it is always an antagonistic relationship with the objects surroundings and the surroundings with the object.
Do all molecules absorb infrared radiation?
No all molecules do not absorb infrared radiation. Some of them do.
What does carbon dioxide and water vapor absorb?
infrared radiation
What does water absorb?
IR Radiation otherwise known as Infrared Radiation or heat energy
What are all bodies emit called?
All objects and living things emit infrared radiation unless the object is not a black hole as well unless its temperature is not at the Absolute Zero ( I would call it an "infrared black hole") - such an object can only absorb infrared radiation.
How does infrared light reflect off objects?
Infrared radiation or light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and acts the same as visible light does.Infrared can be absorbed and reflected by objects much the same way as visible light. More on Infrared:Some black objects that absorb visible light radiation may reflect infrared.Much of the absorbed visible light energy is re-emitted as infrared up to many hours later.There are subcategories of infrared, two common ones are near-infrared and far-infrared. Near being closer to visible light.
Why are HFCs inappropriate for long-term replacement of CFCs?
They absorb infrared radiation
Does the ozone layer absorb infrared radiation?
No it does not. It only protects against the UV rays.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
Objects that absorb electromagnetic radiation receive?
It receives energy.
What is a gas composed of molecules that absorb and radiate infrared radiation from the sun?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Why is hotter when wearing a black shirt?
the light attracts to black so it makes it hotter Black objects are black because they absorb all the visible radiation that falls on it. That light is then converted into infrared radiation which is essentially heat. White reflects radiation so you are cooler wearing white.
