Question

electromagnetic waves released by material objects as heat from an area of high heat to the cooler surrounding environment is an example of _________ heat. a convective b conductive c radiant d evaporative

Explanation:

• Convective heat transfer involves the movement of fluid (liquid or gas).
• Conductive heat transfer occurs through direct contact of materials.
• Radiant heat transfer is through electromagnetic waves.
• Evaporative heat transfer is related to the phase change of a liquid to gas.

The question describes heat transfer via electromagnetic waves, which is radiant heat transfer.

Answer:

C. Radiant
