When photons (light particles) are absorbed by a substance, the energy of the photon is converted into kinetic energy among the atoms within the substance. As the atomic kinetic energy (motion) within a substance rises, so too does the temperature (thermal energy) of that substance.
What else can I help you with?
Does solar energy work like eletrical energy?
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that converts sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells or thermal energy through solar panels. Once converted, solar energy can be used in much the same way as electrical energy from the grid, powering homes, businesses, and other applications.
What is the relationship between thermal enery and heat?
thermal energy is the total energy the body has due to movement of inner molecules, and bonds between them, and heat is the change in thermal energy, when energy goes from body with higher temperature to the one with lower temperature
What energy transformation takes place in a flashlight?
Battery (chemical energy) goes to the wires (electrical energy) which goes to the light bulb (thermal and electromagnetic energy. In the bulb of a traditional flashlight, electric current energy is transformed to heat and then partially to light, when the temperature of the filament in the bulb is sufficient. In an LED type flashlight, little heat is produced and more of the electrical current energy is transformed into light.
When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bub?
Electrical goes in. Electromagnetic (heat and light) come out.
What is the energy used to brighten a bulb?
It goes from solar energy to electrical to light/&heat
What happens to states of matter when you remove thermal energy?
When thermal energy is added the matter goes slower
What is an example of a single energy transformation?
It is when one form of energy goes straight to another:example A toster converts electrical energy into thermal energy.
When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the light bulb?
Electrical goes in. Electromagnetic (heat and light) come out.
What happens when it becomes absolute zero?
All objects are made up of atoms. The atoms of all the objects vibrate constantly due to the thermal energy they have. As the temperature goes on decreasing, this thermal energy also goes on decreasing. At -273 degree celsius (0 Kelvin), this thermal energy becomes absolutely nil, and hence there is no vibration of atoms. Thus the object is said to be void of any thermal energy at this temprature.
What is an example of a single transformation?
It is when one form of energy goes straight to another:example A toster converts electrical energy into thermal energy.
What is the energy used to brighten a light bulb?
It goes from solar energy to electrical to light/&heat
Is Condensation thermal energy?
Condensation is a phase change process where a substance goes from a gas to a liquid state, releasing thermal energy in the form of heat. This type of energy transfer is known as heat of condensation.
