IIT JEE , AIEEE Forum - Physics , Thermal Physics - how the heat is travelling throug the vacuum in radiation process?

verababu

Heat is a form of energy.It can be transformed from one body to another.those are conduction,convention,radiation.

In radiation process heat should flow throug the vacuum.So how the heat is travelling throug the vacuum?

In the form of electromagnetic radiation....or

In the form of photons.............................or

In the form of waves................................or

In any other form??

clarify with explanation

krishna.gopal

photons is a subset of em radiatiations which is a subset of waves.

So energy is travelling in form of em radiations (Some of them are photons as well). And these radiations are waves in general

akku

heat travels in the form of electromagnetic waves usually infrared radiations

ramyani

akku is right.
