What else can I help you with?
Can mechanical waves transfer energy through empty space?
No, mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy. Without a medium to propagate through, mechanical waves cannot transfer energy through empty space. Electromagnetic waves, however, can transfer energy through empty space.
What is the transfer of heat energy through empty space called?
The transfer of heat energy through empty space is called radiation.
Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
What waves transfer energy through empty space?
Electromagnetic wave
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.
Can mechanical waves transfer energy through empty space?
No, mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy. Without a medium to propagate through, mechanical waves cannot transfer energy through empty space. Electromagnetic waves, however, can transfer energy through empty space.
What is the transfer of heat energy through empty space called?
The transfer of heat energy through empty space is called radiation.
The transfer of energy through empty space is called?
Conduction
What is the transfer of energy through empty space called?
Radiation.
Is the transfer of energy through empty space is called convection?
No. (radiation)
Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?

Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
What is heat transfer through empty space?
Heat transfer through empty space is known as radiation. It does not require a medium (such as air or water) for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. This type of heat transfer is how the sun's energy reaches us on Earth.
Can mechanical waves transfer through empty space?
No. Mechanical waves are utterly incapable of transfering energy through empty space.
What waves transfer energy through empty space?
Electromagnetic wave
What transfer energy through empty space is called?
Transferring energy through empty space is called radiation. There are three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Radiation is the only energy transfer that does not require a medium. Radiation is a wave of pure energy; one example of radiation is the sunlight that reaches Earth, which is electromagnetic radiation.
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.
Which kind of energy transfer can occur in empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as light, can travel through empty space without the need for a medium due to its wave-particle duality. This transfer of energy can occur through the vacuum of space via electromagnetic waves.
