∙ 7y agoThe term for heat transfer due to the movement of electromagnetic waves is known as radiation.
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.
radiation
In a perfect vacuum, electromagnetic waves do not transfer energy. This is because there are no particles or medium for the waves to interact with, leading to no energy transfer.
Radiation.
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. This is because electromagnetic waves are self-propagating and can travel through a vacuum. This property allows electromagnetic waves to transport energy through space.

Energy transfer takes place by convection (the movement of hot air or other fluids due to diferences in densiity), conduction (transfer of heat through contact - caused by collisions between adjacent particles), or radiation (the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves such as light or infra-red rays).Radiation requires matter to create and absorb the EM waves, (i.e. you need a hot object to give off the IR waves) but the waves themselves can travel through a vacuum, so do not require matter to transfer energy.
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
When hot air rises, it is called convection. This is because convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, such as air, caused by temperature differences. Radiation, on the other hand, is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or radio waves, can transfer energy across vacuums. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, enabling them to travel through empty space.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, can transfer energy and information between two points without needing a medium for transport. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum.
No, radiation does not require matter to transfer heat. Radiation can transfer heat through empty space, such as the heat we receive from the sun through the vacuum of space. This is because radiation is the movement of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
