Radiation is like light, it can travel through empty space. The "why" is a bit complex; basically, light, as well as similar radiations (including heat radiation) consists of electromagnetic waves. These can travel through empty space, since they are just waves in the electric and magnetic properties of space.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you not need a substance for heat transfer?
Any object emits electromagnetic radiation (heat radiation, usually infrared), according to its temperature. This can travel in empty space.
Does light need a substance to travel through?
No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.
What needs a medium substance to travel through?
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
Does radiation need a material to travel through?
No, radiation can travel through a vacuum as well as through materials such as air, water, and solids. The ability of radiation to travel through materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation and the material's density and thickness.
Is the suns energy radiant?
Yes. Here's a logical proof: There are three ways to transfer energy from place to place: --Conduction, --Convection, --Radiation. Conduction and convection need a 'medium' ... a substance to conduct or convect through. Radiation doesn't need anything to travel through. There is no medium ... no substance ... in the space between the sun and the earth, but heat and light from the sun reach the earth constantly. Since there is no medium for it to travel through, it can't be getting here by means of conduction or convection. The only possibility is radiation.
What substance do plants need to make sugar?
i dont cnow lololololololololololololololololololololololol
Do you need vaccination to travel to Turkey?
You dont need any vaccination to travel to Turkey. Also there is not any mandotary vaccination.
What countries did Jim Dine travel to?
i dont know but i need the answer.
Witch method of transferring heat does not need particles?
Radiation is the method of transferring heat that does not require particles. Radiation can occur through empty space because it consists of electromagnetic waves, such as light and infrared radiation, that can travel without the need for a medium.
Why can radiation travel in a vacuum?
Radiation, such as electromagnetic waves, can travel through a vacuum because it does not require a medium to propagate. Unlike sound waves which need a medium like air to travel, electromagnetic radiation can move through empty space because it consists of changing electric and magnetic fields.
What does radiation need to travel through?
Radiation can travel through a vacuum, air, and some materials, depending on the type of radiation. In general, radiation can penetrate solid materials to varying degrees based on factors such as the type of radiation, energy level, and the material's density and thickness.
Is dehydration a removal of water from a substance?
I also need an answer am a learn i dont understand why are you asking me
