    The document discusses heat transfer via radiation. It explains that radiation transfers energy through electromagnetic waves without needing a medium. All objects emit radiation depending on their temperature, with hotter objects emitting more radiation. Examples of radiation include ultraviolet light from the sun, heat from a stove, microwaves, and light from a campfire. An application of radiation is that shiny metal surfaces reflect heat radiation back in, so water in a shiny metal container would warm up more than water in a dull black container which readily emits radiation.

    The third method of heat transfer

    How does Earth get heat There are no particles


    energy from the Sun? between the Sun and
    the Earth so it CANNOT
    travel by conduction or
    by convection.

    RADIATION
    ?
    Radiation
    • Energy of radiation transfers in the form of
    electromagnetic waves.
    • That doesn’t require any material medium or
    transport.
    Radiation
    • All objects at non zero temperature emits
    radiation.
    • The hotter the objects more radiations will be
    emitted.
    Examples of Radiation
    • Ultraviolet light from
    the sun.
    • Heat from a stove
    burner.
    • Microwaves from a
    microwave oven
    • A camp fire
    Applications of Radiation
    • Four containers were filled with warm water. Which
    container would have the warmest water after ten
    minutes?
    Dull metal Shiny black

    Shiny metal Dull black


    • The Shiny metal containers’ water would be the warmest
    after ten minutes. Because, its’ shiny surface reflects heat
    radiation back into the container. So, less is lost.
    • The Dull black containers’ water would be the coolest.
    Because, it is the best at emitting heat radiation.
