I'd say no, that's an unnecessarily complicated statement based on an erroneous concept.
The 'radiant energy' IS the heat energy, just with another name. When that radiation
bumps into something that absorbs it, it becomes the additional kinetic energy of the
molecules of the substance, which begin to dance and fly around faster, and we perceive
that change as an increase in the temperature of the substance.

What three things can happen when heat energy is transferred to matter by radiation?
The matter can absorb the radiant energy, causing its temperature to increase. The matter can reflect the radiant energy, bouncing it off without absorbing it. The matter can transmit the radiant energy, allowing it to pass through without being absorbed or reflected.
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.
Is wind a form of radiant energy?
No. Because wind consists of moving molecules of gas (matter), the energy involved is kinetic. However, wind ultimately has its source in the effects of radiant energy from the sun on the earth's surface and atmosphere..
What are the different types of radiant energy?
The different types of radiant energy include light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, microwaves, radio waves, and X-rays. Each type of radiant energy has different wavelengths and frequencies, which determine their properties and interactions with matter.
What happens to particles as they absorb radiant energy?
When particles absorb radiant energy, their internal energy increases, causing them to vibrate or move more rapidly. This increase in energy can lead to changes in the particle's temperature, state of matter, or chemical composition, depending on the amount and type of energy absorbed.
Does radiant energy produce heat energy when it strikes matter?
To the extent to which the energy is absorbed, yes. Reflectivity and color determine how much energy is absorbed, but no matter can reflect 100% of the energy striking it. Some will be absorbed by the molecules.
How does energy get its power?
energy get its power from the radiant energy and from the matter that the energy get its 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.

Is light kinetic or potential energy?
good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant 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.
How is absorption used in every day life?
Absorption works when a matter or radiant energy is taken up internally by a substance. Matter can be liquid, solid or gas and radiant energy can be ultraviolet rays, sound or heat.
Is heat form by matter?
Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred from one object to another. Matter can generate heat through various processes such as friction, chemical reactions, and the absorption of radiant energy. So, matter can indeed produce heat.
