Which transfer of heat energy requires no contact between the heat source and the heated object?

1 answer

The transfer of heat energy that requires no contact between the heat source and the heated object is called radiation. Unlike conduction and convection, which involve the transfer of heat through direct contact or fluid movement, respectively, radiation occurs through electromagnetic waves. This means heat can be transferred through the vacuum of space, such as the heat from the Sun reaching Earth.
