If you put your hand over a stove is that radiation?

No that is just a hand over the stove. If the stove element is turned on and you place your hand close to the element you will feel heat. This is heat radiation, the same as when you feel the heat from the sun, also heat radiation.


What is an example of solar radiation?

The sun is the best example of radiation because, of the three processes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation), the sun only radiates heat energy.Conduction occurs through matter, and we are separated from the sun by an absence of matter (vacuum).Convection is the movement of a fluid, carrying heat. Although there is a solar wind, it is very very tenuous - a vacuum.You can step outside and feel the sun's radiation (infrared) on your skin, see the light with your eyes.


Why did you fell heat from the flame even if you did not touch it?

You are able to feel heat from a flame even if you do not touch it because heat travels through the air via radiation. When a flame is present, it emits infrared radiation that can be felt by your skin as warmth.


Why can you feel the suns heat when there is no air between the sun and the earth?

The sun's heat reaches the Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which can travel through the vacuum of space. When this radiation reaches Earth, it gets absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth's surface, warming it up. This is why you can feel the sun's heat even though there is no air between the sun and the Earth.


What are some examples of infared radiation?

Examples of infrared radiation include heat emitted by a fire or a heated object, the warmth felt from the sun's rays, the heat given off by our bodies, and infrared sensors used for night vision technology.

Is the heat you feel from a fireplace radiation?

Yes, the heat you feel from a fireplace is primarily in the form of radiation. As the fire heats up, it emits infrared radiation that warms objects and people in its vicinity. This is why you can feel the warmth even if you are not directly in front of the fire.


Can humans feel radioactivity?

Not actual radiation, but you feel the effects


Heat we feel feel from the sun is what?

The heat we feel from the sun is infrared radiation. This type of electromagnetic radiation is given off by the sun and warms the Earth's surface when absorbed.


Is heat you feel from the sun radiation?

Yup.


How is the heat we feel from the sun transferred to us: through conduction, convection, or radiation?

The heat we feel from the sun is transferred to us primarily through radiation.


Can you feel ultra violet?

You cannot see or feel ultraviolet radiation waves.


What type of radiation makes you feel warm?

Infrared radiation is responsible for making you feel warm. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that produces heat when absorbed by the body. This is why objects like the sun or a heater emitting infrared radiation can create a sensation of warmth on your skin.


What kind of radiation can we feel but cant see?

We can feel infrared radiation as heat, but we can't see it with our eyes because it's not within the visible spectrum. This type of radiation is often emitted by warm objects or the sun.

Is heat radiation called infrared radiation?

Yes, heat radiation is often referred to as infrared radiation because it falls within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the type of electromagnetic radiation that we feel as heat when emitted by objects.
