Question

At what speed do heat radiations travel?

Answer 1

1. Heat transfer takes place from the body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
2. We know that infrared waves are also called heat waves.
3. Heat radiations use electromagnetic waves to transfer heat from one body to another body.
4. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is 3 x 10⁸m/s.

Hence heat radiations travel with the speed of light and their path of travel is a straight line
