What Is A Radiation? (Heat Transfer)

Click For Summary
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that includes all types of light, both visible and invisible, such as infrared (IR) and radio waves. The IR portion of sunlight is primarily responsible for carrying heat. Understanding radiation is fundamental, and resources like Google can provide extensive information on the topic. Users are encouraged to explore educational materials to grasp the concept better. For further insights, a specific blog link was shared for additional reading.

Could anyone please illustrate me about radiation by an illustration?

If don't mind, animation could be great.

What is IR?
 
IR is infra-red

Actually, ALL "light", visible to the human eye or not, is radiation. Radio waves are radiation. The entire electromagnetic spectrum is radiation.

This is such a basic concept that you should just poke around with Google.
 
Next question, what is infra red?
