What else can I help you with?
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.
Do heat and light have mass and occupies space?
No and no.
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.
Does light contains heat?
Light itself does not contain heat. Heat is a form of energy that is associated with the motion of particles in a material. Light, on the other hand, is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not have mass and does not create heat on its own. However, when light is absorbed by an object, it can be converted into heat energy.
Do heat and light can occupy space?
No, heat and light are forms of energy, not physical matter, so they do not occupy space in the way that physical objects do. They can be present in a space, but they do not have a fixed volume or mass like matter does.
Do light and heat have mass?
In so far as E = mc², yes For most practical, every day purposes though, we do not consider energy (such as light and heat) to have mass. If you weigh an object before and after heating it up, you won't be able to measure a change in its mass (unless the heat causes it to undergo some chemical reaction changing its composition). Note: We do know that light can exert pressure so it behaves like mass impacting an object. Generally the pressure exerted by light is too small to be detected under everyday circumstances but over long periods of time or from very intense sources it can be measured.
What caused the sun to give off heat and light?
The sun converts hydrogen into helium in the core of the sun. This neuclear reaction of four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom creates heat and light (kinetic energy) as result of the loss of mass (1 helium atom has less mass than 4 hydrogen atoms and the loss of mass is the heat and light)Plasma fusion
What are some examples of mass in science?
Light, heat, energy, emotions. All are massless.
What process causes the sun to give off light and heat?
The sun converts hydrogen into helium in the core of the sun. This neuclear reaction of four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom creates heat and light (kinetic energy) as result of the loss of mass (1 helium atom has less mass than 4 hydrogen atoms and the loss of mass is the heat and light)Plasma fusion
Why are light and heat not matter?
Heat & temperature is a property of matter... and not matter. Photons are unique as they are essentially a packet of energy, but without mass. And, not having mass, they are not considered matter. (Note: it used to be common to refer to the relativistic mass-equivalent of an object's kinetic energy as it's "mass", and disinguish it's invariant mass as rest mass. That terminology was still current when I studied relativity, and there are certainly still books on the shelves that use it. Light and heat do have mass in that sense. But that terminology was confusing, and nowadays it is fashionable among physicists to refer to the old "relativistic mass" as "energy" and to the old "rest mass" as "mass". Light and heat have zero rest mass.) Essentially, "matter" is the stuff that material objects are made of. Heat is merely the random motion of the parts, and light is not among the parts of material stuff either. Note- when broken down enough matter is comprised of particles similiar to photons(no Mass, specific function, kinda in between energy and matter) it would not truly be a stretch to consider matter as some form of energy.
Is the light in a flash light matter?
No, all light is the same no matter if it is artificial or natural. and light is an energy, like heat. light has no mass or volume and you cannot touch it like you can touch solids/liquids/gases.
Can fire be dense?
Fire is a combination of heat and light energy emitted by a chemical reaction, and as such it has no mass and therefore no density.
