Answerthe process in which energy is emitted by one object, transmitted through space, and absorbed by another

Aron Keller · Answer 2

The answer is: the process in which energy is emitted by one object, transmitted through space, and absorbed by another.

Explanation:

Heat energy - this is the movement of tiny particles in the different phases of matter. It can be transferred through different processes such as convection, conduction and radiation.

Let's focus on radiation. In this process, a body emits energy, then this energy is transmitted through space and is absorbed by another body. The heat, in here, is carried by electromagnetic waves. Examples of electromagnetic waves are visible light, X-rays, radio waves, etc.

For example, when you light a candle, it emits a visible light which is transmitted through space. Heat will only be transferred to a body if the body moves closer to the candle. So, if I put my finger closer to the candle, it will absorbed the heat. This process is called radiation.
