Convection waves are invisible: You can't see them.


Does convection transfer heat by electromagnetic waves?

No, convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water, which carry thermal energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves transfer heat through radiation, not convection.

What is it called when energy is transferred by particles or waves?

If heat is transferred by waves, we call it radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact it is conduction, and if the particles move to carry the heat it is convection.


Difference between microwave oven grill and convection?

A microwave uses radio waves to heat food from the inside out, and a convection oven uses heat waves to cook food from the outside in. While they both cook food fairly quickly, the method of a convection oven is much more similar to a conventional oven.


How does the energy from the sun produce waves?

It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.


Does heat travel as longitudinal wave?

No, heat does not travel as a longitudinal wave. Heat is transferred through materials by conduction, convection, or radiation, rather than propagating as a wave. Longitudinal waves are more commonly associated with the motion of particles in a solid or a fluid.
