Atomic energy is produced when atoms of uranium235 or other fissile material split, or undergo fission. It is nothing to do with fluorescence, and I don't understand 'heat mass'

Why does heat and light doesn't have mass?

Heat and light do not have mass because they are forms of energy rather than matter. Mass is a property of matter that measures the amount of substance in an object, while heat and light are forms of energy that result from the movement and interactions of particles at the atomic or subatomic level.


In an atomic reactor atomic energy is converted directly to what kind of energy?

Atomic energy is converted into heat. At the atomic level, however, this heat can be viewed in other ways. It can be seen as kinetic energy, for example, or electrical energy. It is measured in electron volts, but can also be measured by temperature or speed. So a neutron produced with a lot of electron volts is called fast or hot. But the heat in the atomic reactor is the heat of fission. Fission and fusion both involve the forces that bind atoms together. It happens that the most stable atoms are iron, so anything with less mass is somewhat likely to become more stable through fission, and anything with more mass is likely to become more stable through some nuclear action that loses mass, such as fission or other decay. The increase of stability is accompanied by a decrease of energy, and that is where atomic energy comes from.


Is heat energy a gas?

Energy has no mass.


What type of relationship is there between the specific heat of a metal and its atomic mass?

Specific heat is a property of any substance which is how much energy it can absorb per unit mass. So the more mass the more energy can be absorbed, however the specific heat is consistent throughout a substance regardless of mass or volume.If you are asking what is the heat capacity of a material on a volume basis, that is quite different. Suppose you are limited to a certain amount of space and you could fill this space with whatever metal you wanted. (So weight is not a factor in this case). Materials like steel or iron would be ideal. Zinc, which would weigh about the same, would not be nearly as good. Beryllium would be significantly lighter than any of these and it would be better than the zinc but, not as good as the steel. To arrive at this conclusion just multiply the specific heat of the material by its density.


How can the atomic mass change?

Depends, what do you mean "change"? Atomic mass "changes" whenever something undergoes decay or breaks apart. In this respect, atomic mass is not exactly conserved either. Rest mass gets converted to energy; e=mc^2, meaning energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. This energy is usually the kinetic energy of the particle that gets dislocated from the original atom.


Does heat and light have mass?

Heat and light are both forms of energy, so yes. If you divide the energy by the speed of light in a vacuum squared (all in the appropriate units), you will obtain the value for the mass-equivalent of that energy.


How is hfusion used to calculate the energy needed to mention a mass of a solid?

The formula for calculating the energy needed to melt a mass of a solid is Heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x ΔT + mass x heat of fusion. This formula includes the specific heat capacity of the material, the change in temperature, and the heat of fusion required to melt the material.


Atomic energy converted to mass?

In accordance with Einstein's theory of relativity (E=mc^2), atomic energy can be converted into mass. This means that when atoms undergo nuclear reactions, small amounts of mass are converted into energy. Conversely, energy can also be converted back into mass under certain conditions.


Why lead is poorest conductor of heat?

Lead is a poor conductor of heat because it has a low thermal conductivity due to its atomic structure. Lead atoms are arranged in a way that does not allow for efficient transfer of heat energy through the material. Additionally, lead has a relatively high density and atomic mass, which further hinder the movement of heat within the material.


Can bio mass energy be converted into Heat energy?

Sure, burn it.


The binding energy of an atomic nucleus is the energy equivalent to the atom's?

The binding energy of an atomic nucleus is the energy equivalent to the mass defect, which is the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This energy is needed to hold the nucleus together and is released during nuclear reactions, such as fusion or fission.


Is nuclear an energy tranformation?

Yes, nuclear energy involves the transformation of atomic nuclei through processes like fission or fusion to produce heat, which is then converted into electricity. This transformation of atomic nuclei releases a significant amount of energy compared to other energy sources like fossil fuels.
