    Is latent heat only released and absorbed as radiation?

    Can water simply absord the kinetic energy from colliding air molucules to change its phase? And can water transformed into ice simply have the kinetic energy of its molecules increased to balance out the lost latent heat? Would not this again change ice into water?

    Can hot water cool down through radiation?

    Also please tell me can we calculate the time it takes specifically for water to radiate all its heat? Is 'Newton's law of cooling' the answer? Is the math involved pretty complicated?

    Can hot water cool down through radiation?

    My question is does the intensity and frequency of radiation depends only on the mass of object and magnitude of the acceleration, or the chemistry of the object also has a role?

    Can hot water cool down through radiation?

    Does that also happen in our macroscopic world? Do some materials tend to decelerate more than others? What's is this property of materials called?

    Can hot water cool down through radiation?

    I don't think Newton's law of cooling applies on radiation. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Can heat transfer break an equilibrium?

    Here is one scenario: I have placed a metal in my room which is at room temperature. Air has little much heat capacity and metals don't like to store heat. Would heat transfer occur? Whatif I set the temperature of both to a certain degree where it crosses heat capacity of metal but not of air?

    Can hot water cool down through radiation?

    I have two more questions:- (1) Can we calculate the time it takes specifically for water to radiate all its heat? (2) Heat is illustrated as kinetic energy of molecules, so why collision between particles should result in the conversion of kinetic energy into radiation. Why conservation of...
