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.


Can waves carry energy and matter?

Waves can carry energy but not matter. In the case of mechanical waves, such as water waves or sound waves, the energy is transferred through the movement of the medium's particles. In contrast, electromagnetic waves, like light waves, can travel through a vacuum and transfer energy without the need for a medium.


Transfer of energy that does NOT require matter is?

Radiation


What do not need matter to transfer energy?

Energy can travel through empty space as electromagnetic waves (light, etc.), or as gravitational waves. Changes in the electric and magnetic field are also energy transfers without matter. However, please note that any energy has, by itself, an associated mass.


Which method of energy transfer does not involve the movement of matter?

Energy transfer takes place by convection (the movement of hot air or other fluids due to diferences in densiity), conduction (transfer of heat through contact - caused by collisions between adjacent particles), or radiation (the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves such as light or infra-red rays).Radiation requires matter to create and absorb the EM waves, (i.e. you need a hot object to give off the IR waves) but the waves themselves can travel through a vacuum, so do not require matter to transfer energy.

Why is heat not matter i need to know for sicience homework?

Heat is NOT matter. Heat is not even energy. It is defined as the "transfer of energy", so it refers strictly to the PROCESS of the TRANSFER of energy. My prof explained this to me in class, apparently many people misunderstand this.

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.

What is the transfer of thermal energy without matter?

The transfer of thermal energy without matter is called radiation. Radiation is the process by which heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, without the need for a material medium. Examples include feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin or using a heat lamp to keep food warm.


Do you need energy in doing work?

Yes. Basically, work is the transfer of energy.
