Is heating tungsten until it glows red a chemical or physical change?

Physical change. You aren't changing the substance.


Is a light of a flash light a ray of light?

Light is made up of light waves, which are different than normal waves because they do not need a medium, or a material to travel though. (Some examples of mediums are water, air, wood, metal...). Light waves come in different sizes, or wavelengths. Flashlights usually use incandescent light bulbs to produce light. Incandescent light bulbs produce light by heating a tungsten filament until it glows and gives off heat under the form of light waves.


What are the normal results of fracture repair?

the body begins to produce new tissue to bridge the broken pieces. At first, this tissue (called a callus) is soft and easily injured. Later, the body deposits bone minerals until the callus becomes a solid piece of bone


Bacteria that remain inactive until enviormental conditions are favorable?

These can produce endospores.


Why does an incandescent light bulb produce a continuous spectrum that seems to favor red?

Actually the peak of the radiation from an incandescent light bulb is in the near infrared, not the visible spectrum. The visible light that you see is the falling upper sideband of this: very strong in the red and declining until it is weak in the blue and violet end with a very small amount of radiation in the ultraviolet. The lower sideband extends across the infrared and into the far infrared. Well under a third of the emitted electromagnetic radiation of an incandescent light bulb is visible light, most is infrared.

Why lamp gives light?

Because it is made to do so. An incandescent light bulb glows because electricity heats the filament until it is very hot and excites the atoms so much they emit "black body" radiation, much of which is in the visible part of the spectrum.

What happens when a piece copper wire is heated in the outer region of the flame until its red hot?

The copper wire glows red. Once it cools...the copper reacts with the air to produce copper(II) oxide. This is shown by the black tarnish on the copper wire.


Hoe does electrical energy get into light energy?

That depends on the type of lamp. For example in an incandescent light, the electricity simply heats up a wire until it glows.

Why lightning cannot occur in vacuum?

What you see as lightning is air that has been superheated until it glows by an electric charge travelling through it. In a vacuum there is no air, thus no visual.


Is an asteroid considered a shooting star?

No. A shooting star, scientifically called a meteor, is an object from space that is passing through the atmosphere, heating the air until it glows brightly.
