How can energy be carried from one place to another by heat flow and by waves?

heat flow and waves


The transfer of heat by means of rays?

Radiation is the means of heat conduction through electromagnetic (EM) waves. These waves are known as Thermal radiation and differ from other EM waves as Radio waves, Microwaves etc. The other two methods of heat transfer are Conduction and Convection where both require a medium (such as air, water etc.) for the transfer to take place.


What is it called when energy is transferred by particles or waves?

If heat is transferred by waves, we call it radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact it is conduction, and if the particles move to carry the heat it is convection.


Which energy transfer can take place with little or no matter present?

The type of energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter present is radiation.


Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?

No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.


Does convection transfer heat by electromagnetic waves?

No, convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water, which carry thermal energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves transfer heat through radiation, not convection.


The type of thermal energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter present?

Radiation is the type of thermal energy transfer that can take place with little or no matter present. This process allows heat to travel through empty space by electromagnetic waves such as light.


Are more deaths caused by heat waves or cold waves?

Heat.


When Does Heat Transfer Take place?

Heat transfer takes place whenever there is a temperature difference between two objects or systems. This can occur through conduction (direct contact), convection (through a fluid or gas), or radiation (through electromagnetic waves). Heat transfer is a fundamental process in nature that aims to equalize temperature differences.


What is needed for conduction and convection to take place but not radiation?

Conduction and convection require a medium, such as solids or fluids, to transfer heat through direct contact or movement. Radiation, on the other hand, can occur in a vacuum or through empty space as electromagnetic waves. So, for conduction and convection to take place but not radiation, a medium for heat transfer is necessary.


What speed does heat from the sun reach us transfer of heat take place?

The heat from the sun reaches the Earth at the speed of light, which is around 186,282 miles per second. The transfer of heat from the sun to the Earth occurs through a process called radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry heat energy through space.


Why does transfer of heat not place by conduction in fluids?

Wrong, transfer of heat by conduction does take place in fluids.
