That sounds like the description of heat radiation.

What does not need matter to transfer thermal energy?

Infrared radiation does not require matter to transfer thermal energy. It can travel through vacuum, such as outer space, and is responsible for the heat we feel from the sun.

Is it true or false that transfer of thermal energy by radiation does not require matter?

True. Transfer of thermal energy by radiation does not require matter because it occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, which can travel through vacuum where there is no matter. This form of energy transfer is how heat from the sun reaches Earth.


Can the movement of matter occur without energy transfer?

No, the movement of matter requires energy transfer. Energy is needed to overcome any resistance to movement, such as friction or inertia. Without energy transfer, matter would remain stationary or at rest.


What is the ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another and is a physical property of matter?

The ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another is called thermal conductivity. It is a physical property of matter that quantifies how well a material can conduct heat. Materials with high thermal conductivity can transfer heat efficiently, while materials with low thermal conductivity are poor heat conductors.

Is thermal energy transferred without transfer of matter?

There are three ways to transfer heat energy (thermal energy); convection involves transferring matter, the other two methods (conduction, radiation) don't.

What do therodynamics apply to?

Everything, all matter within existence is subject to the transfer of thermal energy. Thermodynamics help us to understand how matter will behave when undergoing a change in thermal energy.


What is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions of particles of matter?

That is the conservation of energy. when particles collide no energy is lost but is transferred from one form to another.And this mechanism of heat transfer is called conduction.basically heat transfer is transfer of energy. conduction and convection but require material medium , this shows how energy can behave like particals. radiation on the other hand is a trasfer of heat which requires no material medium and shows how energy behaves like waves. so heats can behave as both particals and waves of energy. its called the dual nature of matter or energy since matter is basically potential energy.
