    Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves without contact between objects. Sunlight is an example of radiation, as the sun's energy travels to Earth through electromagnetic waves carrying solar thermal energy in a renewable process essential for life. Thermal energy is transferred through radiation and examples include appliances that emit heat like stoves, as well as hot food and drink that radiate thermal energy.

    Radiation: It is the process by which energy is transferred without contact


    between the molecules. No medium is necessary for the energy to travel as
    electromagnetic waves carry it. An example of radiation is sunlight which is
    essential for all living beings on Earth. The energy received from the sun is known
    as solar thermal energy. It is renewable.

    Examples of Thermal Energy


    Here are some examples where thermal energy is emitted or transferred in
    everyday life.

    • Stove, microwave oven, toaster, and heater are sources of thermal energy
    • A cup of hot tea or a slice of hot pizza radiates thermal energy
