Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Sunshine is radiant energy, which provides the fuel and warmth that make life on Earth possible. 

<span>Heat travels from the sun by a process called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. When infrared rays strike a material, the molecules in that material move faster. In addition to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters radiate heat. When we feel heat around these items, however, we are feeling convection heat (warmed air molecules) rather than radiated heat since the heat waves strike and energize surrounding air molecules. </span>

<span>A light bulb changes the chemical energy of the bulb into electromagnetic radiation, or light. Which in return gets transformed into heat (have you ever touched a light bulb? ouch!). </span>

When you heat up coffee in a microwave, you are transforming electromagnetic energy into heat.http://www.svsu.edu/mathsci-center/uploa... 

<span>People have started to utilize electromagnetic energy in the form of solar power, using solar panels to gather the radiant energy that comes from the sun and use it for electricity. For example, a pool that has solar heating panels. </span>

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Covalent Bonds

Explanation:

INTERmolecular forces are those that exist between molecules, so you can think of it liek international things taking place between countries. As you are aware, dipoles exist across an entire molecule, so for 2 dipoles to interact, there needs to be 2 molecules. Van der Waals forces also take place between  molecules when there is an uneven distribution of electrons across a molecule, causing a temporary weak dipole. Hydrogen bonding is similar to dipole-dipole forces, but only happen when there is a hydrogen interacting with an atom on another molecule that has a lone pair of electrons.

Covalent bonds, however, are INTRAmolecular, meaning they are present within a molecule. Covalent bonds are the bonds that exist when two atoms, within the same molecule, share electrons so both can have a stable electron configuration.

Hope I helped! xx

A bar graph of boiling point of milk and water​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The boiling point of milk is close to the boiling point of water, which is 100 degrees C, or 212 degrees F at sea level, but milk contains additional molecules, so its boiling point is slightly higher.
