Thermal radiation is generated when heat from the movement of charges in the material is converted to electromagnetic radiation. No medium is necessary for radiation to occur, for it is transferred by electromagnetic waves; radiation takes place even in and through a perfect vacuum No medium is necessary for radiation to occur, for it is transferred by electromagnetic waves; radiation takes place even in and through a perfect vacuum Since the amount of emitted radiation increases with increasing temperature, a net transfer of energy from higher temperatures to lower temperatures results.
