Yes, in the form of infrared radiation we see that heat can travel via light waves. We call this infrared radiation, and this is a wave that humans feel as heat. It's invisible, and it is just below red on the electromagnetic spectrum. The wave is the energy, and when it reacts with the skin, we feel it as heat.

What is relationship between resistance and heat as electricity flows through a wire?
As electricity flows through a wire, resistance causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat. The heat produced is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire and the resistance of the wire. Higher resistance in the wire will result in more heat being generated.
Does Heat require a medium?
No, heat does not require a medium to travel. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation, and can travel through a vacuum as well.
Why does the length of wire affect the resistance?
the longer the wire, the more mass the electrons have to travel thru. the more they have to travel thru, the more resistance. (and the resultant heat) the more electrically conductive the wire, the less resistance.
In which way does heat travel?
Heat can travel through conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact of molecules. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of fluids such as air or water. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
When electricity passes through the thin wire in a lightbulbit is changed to what?
When electricity passes through the thin wire in a lightbulb, it is changed to light and heat energy. The electrical energy produces heat in the wire, causing it to glow and produce light.

Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?
Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.
Does Heat require a medium?
No, heat does not require a medium to travel. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation, and can travel through a vacuum as well.
How does heat travel throughteach state of matter?
Heat travels through waves of insulation through metals and other materials. The only metals that heat does not travel through are aluminum and nickel.
What materials do not let heat travel through are called?
Insulators- do not let heat through

Can heat travel through a vaccume by radiation only?
Rradiation is the only way that heat can travel in a vacuum.
Does heat travel through water?
Yes it can
When electricity passes through the thin wire in a lightbulbit is changed to what?
When electricity passes through the thin wire in a lightbulb, it is changed to light and heat energy. The electrical energy produces heat in the wire, causing it to glow and produce light.
What processes transfer heat energy along the wire?
Heat energy can be transferred along a wire through conduction, where heat is directly transferred through the vibrating atoms and free electrons in the material. Additionally, heat can be transferred along a wire through radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry thermal energy.
How can wire be hardened using heat?
Wire can be hardened using heat through a process called heat treatment. By heating the wire to a specific temperature and then cooling it quickly, the structure of the wire changes, making it stronger and more resistant to bending or breaking.
