Give two everyday examples of thermal energy transfer by radiation
Feeling the hotness of Sun’s radiation –. Standing next the a BBQ fire will make you feel hot. Placing your hand next to a hot object such a jar of hot water

radiation
State briefly how thermal energy is transferred by radiation
Hot objects emit thermal energy in the form of infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic waves. The hotter the object, the higher the rate of radia
