Noun
thermal radiation (uncountable)
(physics) The electromagnetic radiation emitted from a body as a consequence of its temperature; increasing the temperature of the body increases the amount of radiation produced, and shifts it to shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies) in a manner explained only by quantum mechanics.
A normal thermometer would be significantly below convert, because the energy lost by thermal radiation would exceed the energy acquired from the atmospheric gas by direct contact. Source: Internet
As noted above, even low-frequency thermal radiation may cause temperature-ionization whenever it deposits sufficient thermal energy to raises temperatures to a high enough level. Source: Internet
In addition to the absorption of solar and thermal radiation, the atmosphere further gains heat by sensible and latent heat fluxes from the surface. Source: Internet
As it relates to the likelihood of nuclear winter, the hazard from thermal radiation ignited fires would also be reduced. Source: Internet
Heat convection to the surrounding air, and thermal radiation are the primary modes of heat transport from the body. Source: Internet
Most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature is infrared. Source: Internet
