    Heat Radiation
AI Thread Summary
Heat transfer occurs through radiation, specifically via infrared radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic energy. Infrared radiation travels at the speed of light (c). However, the rate at which different substances emit infrared radiation varies based on their material properties and temperature. Thus, while the speed of infrared photons remains constant, the energy radiation rate is not uniform across different substances.

Heat can be transferred ny radiation. In-fra red radiation is emitted
in pocess. Is the speed of In-fra red radiation emitted by all substances are the same?[?]

Yes, Infrared is electroMagnetic energy therefore it travels at c, the speed of light.

His post wasn't all that clear - perhaps he meant the rate of energy radiation, not the speed of the photons themselves. In that case, the answer is no - it depends on the material and temperature.
