Theory for Surface-to-Surface Radiation
In addition to conduction and convection, the third mechanism for heat transfer is radiation. Consider an environment with fully transparent or fully opaque objects. Thermal radiation denotes the stream of electromagnetic waves emitted from a body at a certain temperature.
