Heat or Absorbed Energy and EM Radiation / Conductivity

AI Thread Summary
Kelvin is a unit of temperature, while kilojoules measure energy and work, both of which are essential for understanding heat conduction and radiation in materials. The relationship between temperature and energy is crucial for analyzing how materials behave thermally. Both Kelvin and kilojoules play significant roles in thermodynamics. Understanding these concepts can help in determining a material's thermal properties. The discussion highlights the importance of both measurements in addressing questions about heat transfer.

I would like to know whether Kelvin or KJs matter when it comes down to a material radiating and / or conducting its heat.

I don't know how to edit so excuse me for double posting but me and my friend figured it out now.

This can be closed :)
 
Just to point out for others, Kelvin is a measure of temperature, Kilojoules is a measure of energy and work. You would need both to answer your question I think. Glad you figured it out though!
