In reality wherever there is harmony or matching then energy would be easily handed over or transferred. Same way as the electron status in an atom is in harmony with the falling electromagnetic radiation then that energy would be absorbed by the electron and so the electron would go to the higher energy level. This is what we call excitation. This is how heat is getting transferred to the molecules of fluid, atoms of solid etc. Light too gets absorbed by the leaves in the process of photo synthesis.

Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?

Radiant energy, such as light or electromagnetic waves, can travel through a vacuum where there is no matter present. This is because radiant energy propagates through electromagnetic fields and does not require a medium to transfer energy.


What is the energy transferred as em waves?

Electromagnetic waves transfer energy through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields. The energy carried by electromagnetic waves is proportional to their frequency, with higher frequencies carrying more energy. This energy transfer allows electromagnetic waves to propagate through space and interact with matter.


What do electromagnetic waves not transfer?

There are lots of things they don't transfer.


A wave that doesn't require matter to transfer energy?

Electromagnetic waves


How electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter?

Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.


Is light kinetic or potential energy?

good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy


How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?

By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.


How are electromagnetic waves needed for energy to be transferred?

Electromagnetic waves are needed for energy to be transferred because they carry energy through space in the form of radiation. When electromagnetic waves interact with matter, they can transfer their energy to the particles in that matter, causing them to move and generate heat. This process is essential for various energy transfer mechanisms, such as solar energy reaching the Earth and heating the atmosphere.


How mechanical and electromagnetic waves are similar.?

Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.


What are some forms of energy that are related to changes in matter?

Forms of energy related to changes in matter may include kinetic, potential, chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, and thermal energy.


What transmits energy but not mass?

technically all waves transfer energy and not matter. A sound wave for example does move matter, but it does not transfer matter over the distance of the wave. If you are asking about waves that do not need matter as a medium, the best answer would be light waves. Light waves are produced by photons and although photons are effected by gravity, it is currently believed that they probably have no mass.


Does an electromagnetic wave use matter to transfer energy?

No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
