Question

Energy radiated from a hot object is carried in ___________________.

Answer 1

In addition to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters also transfer heat via radiation.

Answer 2

Photons

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot object emits photons of various energies, which propagate outwards from the object. When they hit another object, the photons can be absorbed, giving up their energy to the second object. This causes the atoms/molecules etc. to giggle around, rotate, vibrate etc., with the result that the second object heats up.
