Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves occurs through the emission, absorption, and re-emission of infrared radiation. This process does not require a medium for heat transfer and can occur in a vacuum. It follows the principles of electromagnetic radiation and is responsible for the warming of the Earth by the Sun.
Objects give off heat energy as radiant energy.
The energy given off is electromagnetic energy.
All objects are constantly radiating electromagnetic energy (radiant energy) and all objects are constantly absorbing electromagnetic (radiant energy) from their environment.
Objects exchange heat energy with their environment through the usual process of thermal conduction as well. In most cases thermal conduction is the dominant form of heat transfer between an object and its environment.
Light is a well known form of electromagnetic energy, and it happens to be the form to which the human eye is sensitive. There is much infrared light in our environment that the eye can not see. That infrared light, particularly the far infrared, is electromagnetic energy generated by warmer objects in our environment. If the object is warm enough, it generates visible light. It is for that reason that we refer to something as red hot or even white hot.
Thermal imaging is a well known way of detecting the radiant energy from objects.
Radiation is the type of heat transfer that involves electromagnetic waves. In this process, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as heat from the sun reaching the Earth, or heat emitted by a fireplace warming a room.
The term for the heat transfer due to the movement of electromagnetic waves is called radiation. Radiation heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves such as infrared radiation, which can transfer heat from one object to another without the need for a medium like air or water.
The type of heat transfer that travels through space in electromagnetic waves is called radiation.

Heat transfer by waves refers to the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves such as infrared radiation. These waves carry energy from a warmer object to a cooler one without requiring a medium for propagation. This mode of heat transfer is commonly observed in processes such as radiation from the sun warming the Earth.
The term for heat transfer due to the movement of electromagnetic waves is known as radiation.
