Yes, it does. Some of the energy from the light is converted to heat.

When the pilot light is off does the water heater still fill up?

The water continues to run into and out of the water heater. There is just no flame to heat it up.


How does light that is absorbed affect the temperature of the water?

When light is absorbed by water, it gets converted into thermal energy, which causes the water to heat up. This increase in temperature is a result of the light's energy being transferred to the water molecules, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.


Will sunlight heat up water quicker in a dark colored cup or a light colored cup?

I would think so, but why not try it on a sunny day?


Does a dark container heat up water faster than a light container?

Yes, yes it does


What heats up faster dry soil brick paper or water?

Water heats up the fastest because it has a low specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb heat quickly. Dry soil and brick have a higher specific heat capacity, so they heat up slower. Paper is relatively thin and light, so it can heat up quickly but still slower than water.


Can water store light?

water can store heat energy from light energy..


Will water heat up faster in a white or dark cup?

Water will heat up faster in a dark cup because dark colors absorb more heat from the surroundings compared to light colors like white, which reflect more heat. This means that a dark cup will help the water absorb heat more quickly and reach a higher temperature faster.


Why should you have to shut the fish tank light off at night?

so you don't waste electiricty... and so that you don't heat up the water with the light


Does a 60 watt light bulb evaporate water faster than the sun?

Faster than ambient left alone? If compare to open air then it is faster with extra heat source of 100 Watt. If it had twice the bulb then it is faster than 1 bulb. Light bulb is the energy source and evaporation require energy. Provide extra energy help speed up evaporation.


Does the sun's light heat liquid on earth?

Yes. Anything that absorbs energy (light is energy) will heat up. Liquids will heat up when exposed to the illumination of the Sun.


Why does water heat up quickly if the heat is applied from the bottom?

Water heats up quickly when heat is applied from the bottom because hot air rises and creates circulation within the water, leading to more even distribution of heat. This process, known as convection, helps the water to heat up efficiently and quickly from the bottom up.


Do microwaves only heat up water, or can they also heat up other substances?

Microwaves can heat up other substances besides water. They work by causing molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat, so they can heat up a variety of materials, not just water.
