Radiant energy (Physics), energy given out or transmitted by radiation, as in the case of light and radiant heat.
Defn: Direct observation of objects opaque to light by means of some other form of radiant energy, as the Röntgen rays.
Physics) Defn: An instrument designed for measuring the mechanical effect of radiant energy.
The first distinct creative formation was molecular and radiant energy.
The existence ofradiant energy (heat and light), is the fundamental precondition of all the subsequent creative formations.
Of these different kinds of Energy, the most available for work is Mechanical Energy, or Energy of visible motions and positions; the least available is universal heat, or radiant Energy.
Radiant energy, however, exists in waves of both greater and shorter length than the above, and may be readily detected by apparatus not subject to the limitations of the human eye--e.
These waves are a form of radiant energy, but differing from light or heat in that they are visibly confined to a single plane, the surface of the water, instead of filling the entire surrounding space.
Assuming that a known amount ofradiant energy of a certain wave-length has been permitted to fall upon the phosphorescent material, then in the dark the latter may be seen to glow for a long time.
For example, radiant energy of such a wave-length as to excite the sensation of yellow-green is the most efficient and one watt of this energy is capable of being converted by the visual apparatus into about 625 lumens of light.
A temperature (or absence of temperature) closely approximating this is believed to obtain in the ethereal ocean of interplanetary and interstellar space, which transmits, but is thought not to absorb, radiant energy.
Be that as it may, there is no one now to question that all forms of radiant energy, whatever their exact affinities, consist essentially of undulatory motions of one uniform medium.
Light--the combined forms of Energy to be called "Radiant Energy.
If we were to use a fluorescent screen we would be able to observe the phenomena of the Roentgen Rays, and similar manifestations of Radiant Energy.
Next to these researches on the pressure of radiation, which, by forming the mechanical link between radiation and matter, are fundamental for the thermodynamics of radiant energy, the most striking recent result has been the discovery of H.
Radiant energy is of very marked importance in human relations.
Radiant energy is characterized as an oscillatory or wave-like process.
First and most important is the Sun, which is continually sending to us radiant energy in the form of light and heat waves.
I] Radiant heat is really radiant energy and becomes heat when it is absorbed by a body.
Vegetables obtain their energy from the sunlight (radiant energy).
All these things, he said, radiate out from centres, and act on bodies at a distance, whence comes the term "radiant energy.
Now almost all substances are opaque to some form or other of radiant energy.
What the ray will do depends solely upon what kind of matter it falls upon, and all three of these names, light, heat, and actinism, are names of effects of radiant energy.
To one the name heat is applied, to the other the name of radiant energy is given; and it matters not whether the undulations be long or short, the same molecule may give out both.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "radiant energy" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
