Types of Heat Transfer
RADIATION

Radiation-
Is a type of heat transfer through electromagnetic waves*.
Doesnt require particles or matter.
Needs no medium to occur, travels in vacuum.
Comes from the root word radiate which means to spread-out from a source.
All bodies above 0K (absolute zero) is considered hot and therefore, radiates thermal energy.
Objects at room temperature radiates heat in the form of infrared waves.
Examples are: Heat from the Sun to Earth
Visible light in an electric toaster
Microwave oven
Thermos
Matt black- best emitter and absorber
Silver- worst emitter and absorber


*Electromagnetic wave- a form of radiation. It includes radiowaves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, x-ray and
uv rays.
Radiation- traveling particle/wave, energy that comes from a source that travels through space.
