Why alpha particles tend to produce more ions than beta particles or gamma rays when they pass through matter?
Alpha particles have a high ionizing power beacaue they have a great linear transfer of energy.
When you add energy to matter the particles move and the matter?
faster
Tiny particles which makes matter?
These particles are called atoms.
What happens to the particles when matter gets hotter?
The particles move faster. Thermal energy is a measure of kinetic energy of molecules.
How do the particles in matter affect its properties?
when the particles gain energy,they move more vigorously.pressure increases but the volume remains constant.therefore,the matter changes shape as the particles use this energy to break the attractive forces between them....
What is the transfer of light energy to particles of matter called?
Absorption
What wave can transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter?
transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter
The transfer of energy through matter by direct cantact of particles is called?
Conduction
What is the transfer of energy through matter by direct collisions of vibrating particles is called?
Conduction
What is the the transfer of energy to particles of matter calle?
Absorption
What is the transfer of light energy to particles of matter?
Absorption
What is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy?
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
In optics the transfer of light energy to particles of matter?
absorption
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
What is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions of particles of matter?
That is the conservation of energy. when particles collide no energy is lost but is transferred from one form to another.And this mechanism of heat transfer is called conduction.basically heat transfer is transfer of energy. conduction and convection but require material medium , this shows how energy can behave like particals. radiation on the other hand is a trasfer of heat which requires no material medium and shows how energy behaves like waves. so heats can behave as both particals and waves of energy. its called the dual nature of matter or energy since matter is basically potential energy.
The transfer of thermal energy in matter with no overall transfer of matter is called?
conduction
The energy of moving particles in matter is called?
kinetic energy
