Is making toast in a toaster an example of coverting light energy to chemical energy?

No. It is not really a change at all. When you turn on a light you simply allow electrons to flow through a circuit and through a tungsten filament. The tungsten has high resistance and so electrons loose energy through collisions and release light at many various wavelegths. No materials are undergoing any changes. They end upp the same way as they started.

∙ 13y agoLight is actually a very small subatomic particle called photon.
it's produced naturally in the universe by a chemical change, specifically fusion, and yes it involves a lot of energy. The process is quite complex and too long to post here, so see related link:

∙ 13y agoNo. The heating of the bulb is not a chemical reaction, in fact they work quite hard to make sure that it doesn't become a chemical reaction by filling the bulb with an inert gas.

ATP synthase works by coverting what?
ADP to ATP by harnessing the energy of hydrogen ions.
In a toaster what kind of energy is used?
The inside of a toaster includes electrical energy (what runs the toaster), radiant/light energy (the light coming off of the coils), and thermal/heat energy (what cooks the food in the toaster).
What is the two uses of chemical energy?
For example heating by combustion of fuels.
Why is ATP an example of chemical potential energy?
It stores energy until a cell needs it. The ATP is an example of chemical potential energy because it stores energy. This energy is stored until cells are in need.
Are light rays a form of chemical energy?
Light rays are a form of electromagnetic energy, not chemical energy. Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of molecules and is released through chemical reactions, while light energy is produced by the movement of charged particles.
What is an example of heat energy to mechanical energy?
toaster
What electrical energy converted inside a toaster?
What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?A. thermal energy and lightB. nuclear energyC. chemical energyD. kinetic energy
Is a toaster an example of mechanical energy?
No, a toaster is an appliance that transforms electrical energy into heat energy. It does not involve mechanical energy directly in its operation.
Does the inside of a toaster have mechanical energy or chemical energy?
Mechanical. The conversion of electricity into heat.
What energy change does a toaster iron and hair dryer all have in common?
Chemical energy into electrical energy
An energy coverting organelle found in plants?
chloroplast
Energy-coverting organelle found in plant and algae cells?

What are the energy transformations in a toaster?
First, a toaster uses electrical energy. Then, it uses this electrical energy and the mechanical energy of you pushing on the lever to produce thermal energy, or heat, and sound as the object in the toaster pops up.
Which is an example of electrical energy being converted into light energy?
a flashlight bulb an LED the coil in a toaster
Is medicines is an example of chemical energy?
Food is chemical energy
What is an example of chemical energy to electric energy?
An example of converting chemical energy to electric energy is in a battery. Inside a battery, chemical reactions occur that release electrical energy, which can then be used to power devices such as smartphones or laptops.
What are the energy changes in bread toaster?
The thermal energy used to toast the bread changes to chemical energy
