How is heat transfered through radiation?
Heat is transferred by energy waves moving through space.
A type of energy that travels as a wave but does not require a medium through which to travel?
Light energy.
Energy in the form of a push or pull?
Energy can be transferred to material things by pushing or pulling AND moving it through a distance. The push or pull is a force, and the amount of energy is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance through which it acts. No matter how hard you push or pull, if your force doesn't move through any distance, then no energy is transferred to the thing you're pushing or pulling.
Energy is always transferred through heat from?
In an exothermic reaction, energy is transferred from the substance reacting to its surroundings. Some common exothermic reactions are burning things, making ice cubes, and mixing water and strong acids.
Does biomass need solar energy to run?
No, biomass typically produces energy through incineration which does not require solar energy.
How energy transferred through matter?
energy is transferred through matter or space by
How can energy be transferred through the atmosphere?
Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
How has energy transferred through the void of space?
Energy is transferred through space by radiation.
What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
Energy can be transferred through empty space by?
Energy can be transferred through empty space by radiation. Joule is the SI unit of energy.
Does Energy from the Sun is transferred to Earth through convection?
No! Convection would require a medium and there is none such between the sun and the earth - just vacuum.
How is thermal energy transferred through insulation?
through your mom
What does 'energy transferred' mean?
Energy can be transferred from one location to another as in the sun's energy travels through space to Earth. The two ways that energy can be transferred are by doing work and heat transfer. Also energy can be transferred from one object to another.
How energy transferred through the decay of biomass?
the heat radiantof the energy
How is heat transferred through a vacuum?
Only by radiation. Infrared waves waves don't require a material medium to pass through. Heat energy is transmitted even through vacuum in the form of infrared waves. We get heat energy from sun in this way.
The energy from the Sun arrives through the process of radiation what forms of energy can be transferred through radiation?
radiant energy
A material through which energy can be transferred as heat?
Metal
