What is radiant energy?
To Explain: The radiant energy.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Radiant energy is the form of energy possessed by electromagnetic waves as it does not require any medium to propagate. Examples: Infrared, visible light are examples of radiant energy.
Radiant energy can also be described as packets of energy. These packets are called photons.
It is used for radiant heating. The largest source of radiant energy in earth is the sun.
Conclusion:
Hence, the radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves.
