What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
What happens when you remove thermal energy from a gas?
It turns into a liquid. Just like if you were to remove thermal energy from a substance the atoms will slow down.
Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
How can the temperature of substance remain the same even if the substance is absorbing thermal energy.?
For example, when ice is melting, the absorbed thermal energy is used to change the phase of the substance - a type of potential energy.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
What are examples of the transfromation of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy?
For example, when heat from sunlight is absorbed by a substance, the substance gets hot. Also, when radio waves are absorbed (for instance, by a wall), the energy is converted to heat.
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
How does solar energy goes from electromagnetic energy to thermal energy?
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 Explain what happens to the average kinetic energy, thermal energy, and temperature of a substance when the particles in the substance slow down.?
The particles in a substance slow down when the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. As the average kinetic energy decreases, the internal energy decreases, and so the thermal energy decreases. As the thermal energy of the substance decreases, the temperature decreases.
What happens to the molecules in a substance when thermal energy is removed?
It's vibrates and then melts
How does an increase in total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance?
How does an increase in the total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance.
What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
What happens when you remove thermal energy from a gas?
It turns into a liquid. Just like if you were to remove thermal energy from a substance the atoms will slow down.
How is the thermal energy of a substance related to its state?
The thermal energy of a substance determines its state, since thermal energy, aka internal energy, is the energy the molecules in the substance have. If the energy exceeds the force holding the substance together the substance undergoes a phase change.The physical state of a substance is related to its temperature, the measure of thermal energy. The substance can change states depending on the temperature, e.g. boiling.
