What is the difference between radiant heat and convection heat?

In convection heat you heat the air first and then use the hot air to heat yourself. In radiant heat, the energy must be radiated directly from the heat element to your body. Note that radiant is much more directional.


What relationship exist between thermal and radiant energy?

Thermal energy is the energy associated with heat and can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation. Radiant energy is a form of energy that is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves. In some cases, thermal energy can be converted into radiant energy, such as when an object emits heat in the form of infrared radiation.


What is the relationship between thermal and radiant energy?

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while radiant energy is the energy that travels in waves or particles. Radiant energy can be transferred as heat to increase the thermal energy of a substance. Thermal energy can also be converted into radiant energy, such as in the form of thermal radiation.


What is the difference between convection and radiant heat?

Convection heat is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, like air or water, while radiant heat is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, like from the sun or a fire.


When is heat produced by radiant energy?

Heat is produced by radiant energy when an object absorbs the electromagnetic radiation and converts it into thermal energy. This occurs when the radiant energy has enough intensity and is absorbed by the material of the object, causing the molecules to vibrate and generate heat.

What is the difference between radiant energy and convection energy?

Radiant energy is heat transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun or a fire. Convection energy is heat transferred through the movement of fluids or gases, such as warm air rising and cool air sinking. They represent different mechanisms of heat transfer.

What is the difference between a regular heater and a radiant heater And where can radiant heaters be purchased from?

Radiant heaters heat objects nearby them such as furniture and are usually cheaper. Regular convection heaters actually heat the air temp in the room.

Example of radiant energy?

i don't know but do good on that test kid!just jocking radint energy (light energy) is like when the sun's energy comes to us as radiant heat, clearly there is nothing between sun and earth that can carry the heat energy by other means.


What kind of energy is FIRE?

Heat and radiant energy


What is the difference between tempaturethermal energy and heat?

Thermal energy is heat. Temperature is a measure of the concentration of heat energy.


What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?

Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.


What is the energy received from the sun?

Radiant energy (heat and light).
