Radiant heat (from the sun or electric fire) is infra red radiation and behaves like light, travelling in straight lines unless reflected of refracted. Conducted heat as in a metal wire is basically energy of thermal vibration and this energy is passes from atom to atom in the material.
What else can I help you with?
When heat is felt from a burning fire?
Heat is transferred to your body through radiation when you feel the warmth from a burning fire. The fire emits infrared radiation that travels in a straight line and warms up objects it comes into contact with, like your skin. This sensation is due to the transfer of thermal energy from the fire to your body.
If you were to travel from the geographic south pole in a straight line in any direction in which direction would you travel northsoutheast or west?
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
What is the mosquito line?
the mosquito line is a line of heat that constricts the mosquitoes in one place
Do high pitched sounds travel in a straight line?
High pitched sounds, like all other sounds, travel in all directions in waves from their source. The direction they travel in can be affected by obstacles, reflections, and other factors, but they do not travel in a perfectly straight line.
Why the newtons law of cooling is not valid for high temperature?
According to the Wikipedia article, a non-mathematical explanation of Newton's Law of Cooling is: "The rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings."In other words, it is assumed that the rate of heat loss will increase linearly with temperature. This is basically correct if you consider only conduction; however, in the case of radiation, the radiation emitted by a body is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature (for example, temperature measured in Kelvin). This will give you a curve, not a straight line; for small temperature intervals, you can approximate this with a straight line, but it will not be exact.
Does light travel in a straight lineWhy?
Light travels in astraight line as it has the property known as the rectilinear prpogation of light.
What is squiggly line?
It is a line that twists and turns, not astraight line.
What is a radiation heat?
Radiation heat is a form of heat transfer that occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. It does not require a medium to transfer heat and can travel through vacuum. An example of radiation heat is the heat transfer from the sun to the Earth.
What is an axe of symmetry?
the axes of symmetry of aline segment is astraight line perpendicular to the line segment from its midepoint
What describes a source of radiation heat?
The sun sending out electromagnetic waves.
How do you know that you receive heat from the sun by thermal radiation and not by conduction or convection?
Heat by radiation travels in a straight line (line of sight) from a hot body to cold body with no intervening fluid or material needed for heat conveyance. Thus if the cold body isn't blocked off from the hot body it will receive heat from it by radiation. Convection requires a fluid for heat conveyance, which doesn't exist between the sun and earth. Conduction requires contact for heat transfer.
What method does campfires transfer heat?
Campfires transfer heat primarily through convection and radiation. Convection occurs as the hot air rises from the fire, creating air currents that spread the heat. Radiation involves the emission of electromagnetic waves, which heat objects or surfaces that are in the fire's line of sight.
Vipers have heat sensitive?
Vipers have a line of heat sensitive pits, which detect Infra Red radiation given off by mammals. (their primary food source)
How does electromagnetic radiation behave?
Electromagnetic radiation can behave either as a wave or a particle. A wave particle is duality. Electromagnetic energy results from acceleration of a charge EM radiation can travel through a medium or vacuum.
What is the major difference between conduction and radiation?
Conduction requires contact, radiation does not. Radiation in regards to thermodynamics is the straight line (line of sight) transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold body with no intervening fluid to convey that heat. Example: a flame will heat an object some distance from it by radiation as long as the transfer of heat is unobstructed. Place an object between the two and this flow of heat will stop. Conduction is the flow of heat between a hot body to a cold body by direct contact. Separate the two bodies and this flow of heat stops. Note: transfer of heat by an intervening fluid is convection. The hot body heats the fluid, then the fluid heats the cold body. All three forms of heat transfer occur in most practical heating applications.
What is heat energy that moves in a straight line in all directions called?
Radiant heat energy is the term used to describe heat energy that moves in a straight line in all directions. This type of energy does not require a medium to transfer heat and can travel through a vacuum.
When heat is felt from a burning fire?
Heat is transferred to your body through radiation when you feel the warmth from a burning fire. The fire emits infrared radiation that travels in a straight line and warms up objects it comes into contact with, like your skin. This sensation is due to the transfer of thermal energy from the fire to your body.
