Why is sonofusion not implemented as an energy source?
The reaction is neither stable enough nor controllable enough for it to be a viable method of production of energy for everyday use.
What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state?
The process is called evaporation. Molecules at the surface of a liquid gain energy from the surroundings, typically heat, causing them to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together. Once they have enough energy, these molecules transition to the gaseous state and escape from the liquid surface.
What does a liquid become when its particles have absorbed enough energy to escape the surface?
A gas
What is the molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas?
vaporization
What determines if electrons are ejected from the surface?
The ejection of electrons from a surface is determined by the energy of the incoming photons or particles. If the energy is high enough, it can overcome the binding energy of the electrons in the material, causing them to be ejected.
Where does the energy transfer occur in boiling water?
The energy transfer in boiling water occurs at the surface of the water where heat is transferred from the heat source to the water molecules. As the water absorbs enough heat energy, the molecules begin to move faster and eventually reach a point where they turn into steam and evaporate.
Why is the wind an energy source with limited uses?
A disadvantage of wind energy is that only a few places on Earth have enough wind to meet our energy needs.
What happens when high energy particles leave the surface of the liquid?
When high energy particles leave the surface of a liquid, it causes the liquid to evaporate. Evaporation occurs when molecules at the surface gain enough energy to escape into the air as gas.
What source does light come from?
Any producer of heat can produce light by reaching enough energy
Do most places have winds that blow steadily enough to be a worth while energy source?
yes
Is tidal energy being used in Hawaii?
Currently Hawaii is not using tidal energy, although a pretty effective renewable energy source the tides in Hawaii are not strong enough to generate enough usable energy thus would be ineffective.
What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state is called?
The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state is called evaporation. This occurs when the kinetic energy of the molecules overcomes the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid state.
