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.

∙ 8y agoThe three methods of heat transfer are:* Conduction
* Convection
* Radiation
The first two require a medium. Radiation, on the other hand, can go through empty space.

Write the condition required for conduction of heat?
It require the medium with conduction property. The medium must be stable enough to withstand heat and not thermally decompose. It is then apply temperature difference to start such conduction heat transfer.
What is a mechanism that heat transfer does not need a medium to travel through?
Radiant heat (electromagnetic waves) does not require a medium. Sunlight, infrared light, microwaves are all radiant heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
In which mode of transfer of heat does the medium not get heated up?
Infrared radiations. They do not require any medium. So they don't heat any medium. They don't even heat the air through which they pass.
How is heat transfer by radiation different form heat transfer by convection and conduction?
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
Heat can be transferred without the requiement of a solid liquid or gaseous medium what is the name given to this form of heat transfer?
Radiant heat or Radiation

What is the fastest heat transfer?
It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.
What three ways can heat travel through substances?
Conduction - Process of heat transfer through a medium or material without any movement of the medium or material. Convection - transfer of heat from one place to another through the movement of fluids. A fluid with a given density rises within a fluid of greater density and sinks within in a fluid of smaller density. Radiation - transfer of heat, in the form of waves from one place to another without a medium.

What is heat transferred in?
Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.
How fast does 4oz of water freeze?
Freezing rate depends on the surface area, the heat transfer medium, and its temperature. If it is a thin layer (large surface area) of water it would freeze faster than a thick layer (smaller surface area). A liquid heat transfer medium, like liquid nitrogen, would have a higher heat transfer rate than a gas, like air. Lastly, the colder the heat transfer medium, the faster the heat transfer rate, the faster the water would freeze.

What is radiation heat?
Radiate heat is ENERGY TRANSFER at a distance FROM ONE OBJECT to ANOTHER OBJECT through a form of 1. heat conduction through a medium. 2. heat waves (a variety of light waves) in the Infrared region of light 3. Energy transfer with a transfer agent. The object that heat is being radiated TO (the target), then rises in temperature, due to the transfer of energy.
What does conduction and convection have in common?
They both need a medium (material) to transfer heat.
