What else can I help you with?
Is light a form of pure energy?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy. It consists of photons, which are bundles of energy that have properties of both particles and waves. So, while light itself is not "pure energy," it can transfer energy when interacting with matter.
Is it true that a gamma ray primarily consists of pure energy and no mass?
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave, as is light. This makes it similar to light. You might say it is "pure energy". But please note that any energy has an associated mass, which can be calculated by dividing the energy by c2.
Electromagnetic rays are pure energy?
EM radiation carries energy without a mass-carrying medium. In that sense, they are energy in pure form. However, considering Einstein's mass-energy equivalency (E=mc2), EM energy can, in rare circumstances, be converted to mass at a rate of 300,000,000 Joules/kilogram, and mass converted to energy at the same rate.
Is a compound same through out?
A sample of a pure compound consists of the same molecules throughout its mass.
Why doesn't light have mass?
Because light is pure energy.
All samples of pure water have the same mass?
Yes, all samples of pure water have the same mass because the mass of water is determined by its chemical composition, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This means that regardless of the volume or container, the mass of pure water remains constant.
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
Is alpha radiation pure energy?
No. Alpha radiation is helium nuclei, 24He2+, so there is mass (4 AMU) along with the energy (velocity).The radiation that is most commonly associated with energy is the gamma or x-ray, consisting of photons emitted from the nucleus or electron cloud, respectively. Even then, there is mass, even though small, and even though the rest mass of a photon is zero, because energy is equivalent to mass1 times the velocity of light squared. (e = mc2) As a result, energy cannot exist without mass, nor can mass exist without energy, but that is a little bit out of scope for this question.Suffice to say that there is no such thing as pure energy - you also need mass, but for the purposes of this question, alpha is not pure energy - not by a long shot.1Careful - do not misunderstand that energy and mass can be converted into each other. This is a common error based on not understanding what e = mc2 means. The truth is that energy is mass, and massis energy, and neither can be created nor destroyed - they can only be moved around from one frame of reference to another.
What are facts for radio waves?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum (EM), and are pure energy, they have no mass.
Does pure consciousness have any mass or energy?
Consciousness though a real phenomenon little is knows about its physical particulars. It seems to be related to the complexity of brain actions. It also seems to require a biological brain to have consciousness and thereby it has mass and energy. "Pure consciousness" is a science fiction concept implying awareness without physical structure. As far as it is understood such a phenomenon is not possible.
Can it be said that matter turns into pure energy at the speed of light squared?
Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2, basically means that energy and mass are interchangeable - that under the right conditions, mass can turn into pure energy, and energy can turn into mass. So, in essence, it can be said that matter can turn into pure energy if it is travelling at the speed of light.
Are electrons energy?
No. They are particles. However, when an electron is moving through space it HAS energy. Since an electron has mass it can not be considered to be pure energy. ------------------------------------ Yes they are energy. Energy is the ulimatum and only form energy matter comes out and matter is defined as the one which occupies space. Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body. Hence though electron is massive particle it has come out of energy.
