Radiation transfers thermal energy when photons move from one place to another. Defining a photon as a particle begs a question which many physicists are still agonising over.

Pace any string theorists reading this, but the question is still open.

Which type of thermal energy transfer does not need particles to take place?

Radiation is the type of thermal energy transfer that does not require particles to take place. Radiation can occur through empty space and does not rely on the movement of particles like conduction and convection do.


What is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another.


Is thermal energy transferred through conduction convection or radiation?

Thermal energy can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles, convection involves the movement of a fluid to transfer heat, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

What is similar to heat radiation?

We know that infrared radiation can transfer thermal energy (heat) from one place to another.


How does thermal energy work to transfer heat from one object to another?

Thermal energy transfers heat from one object to another through the process of conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction occurs when heat is transferred through direct contact between objects. Convection involves the movement of heated particles within a fluid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


What is an example of thermal energy transfer by radiation?

An example of thermal energy transfer by radiation is the warmth you feel from the sun on a sunny day.


The transfer of thermal energy by particles moving from one place to another is?

Heat


What is defined as the transfer of thermal energy?

The transfer of thermal energy is defined as the movement of heat from one object to another due to a temperature difference between them. This transfer can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation.


What is heat transfer by radiation?

All objects transfer thermal energy by infra-red radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infra-red radiation it gives off. No particles are involved in radiation, unlike conduction and convection. This means that thermal energy transfer by radiation can even work in space, but conduction and convection cannot. One good example is the sun. Even though it is millions of kilometers away in space, we can still feel its heat. The thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.


What thermal energy is transferred from one substance to another it is called what?

When thermal energy is transferred from one substance to another, it is called heat transfer. Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation.
