Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely on any contact between the heat source and the heated object (as is the case with convection and conduction) Examples of radiation is heat from the sun or from the fliament of a light bulb

Radiation require a heated liquid to transfer energy?

Radiation does not require a medium like a heated liquid to transfer energy. Radiation can transfer energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, and can travel through a vacuum. Heat transfer by radiation relies on the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves between objects.


Is a wall fence heated by radiation?

A wall or fence can become heated by radiation if it absorbs sunlight and emits heat, but it is not inherently "heated" by radiation in the same way as a specific heating system would be. The heat generated would be passive and dependent on external factors like sunlight.


Is Radiation requires a heated liquid to transfer energy?

No, radiation does not require a heated liquid to transfer energy. Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light or heat, and can occur in a vacuum where there is no matter to carry the energy.


When a solid is heated it emits electromagnetic radiation known as An example of such radiation is the element of a stove stop burning bright red?

When a solid is heated, it emits electromagnetic radiation called thermal radiation. An example of this is when the element of a stove burner heats up and glows red hot, emitting visible light as thermal radiation. This phenomenon is governed by Planck's law of blackbody radiation.


What type of radiation is felt as heat?

Infrared radiation is commonly felt as heat. This type of radiation is responsible for the warmth felt from sunlight, fire, or heated objects.

Why is the atmosphere is heated cheifly by radition from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation?

The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface because the Earth's surface absorbs solar energy and emits it as infrared radiation. This infrared radiation is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to be heated. Direct solar radiation contributes to heating the Earth's surface, which in turn warms the atmosphere through convection and radiation.


When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?

Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
