Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
The thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space?
Convection
Where can sounds not travel?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.
What is the transfer of heat through energy waves called?
Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
Which kind of energy transfer can occur in a vacuum?
Radiation.
What is heat transfer through empty space?
Radiation is the transfer of energy through a vacuum.

The transfer of energy through a vacuum can only be accomplished by what?
Radiation.Conduction requires contact and convection requires a motive fluid. Radiation only needs a straight line of sight with no intervening medium.
How does energy transfer from sun to the atmosphere?
radiation can occur through a vacuum
Wave that can transfer energy through the vacuum of space?
electromagnetic waves

Which mechanism of heat transfer can work in a vacuum?
Heat is a form of energy. Atoms of a certain material begin to tremble very fast when heated and pass this movement on to other atoms. So I think -not shure, heat/ energy can only be passed through material, and so it is not possible in a vacuum.
Does radiation require a heated liquid to transfer energy?
No. radiant energy (including heat) can pass though a vacuum.
What is the transfer of heat through energy waves called?
Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
What type of energy transfer that can occur in empty space is?
Electromagnetic energy can propogate through a vacuum, so energy transfer can occur in the form of light, heat, x rays, gamma rays, gamma rays etc.
Which kind of energy transfer can occur in a vacuum?
Radiation.
