When absorbed light energy is released by matter it is called what?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
Does radiant energy produce heat energy when it strikes matter?
To the extent to which the energy is absorbed, yes. Reflectivity and color determine how much energy is absorbed, but no matter can reflect 100% of the energy striking it. Some will be absorbed by the molecules.
Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
What percentage of the suns energy that reaches the earth is absorbed by earth surface?
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
What is the source of warming the upper stratosphere?
Energy absorbed by the ozone
Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
some of the energy,however, is absorbed by the land and water and change into heat
What is energy that is absorbed by the land and water is changed into?
Velium gas
When a sound wave is absorbed its sound energy is changed into what?
It changes into mechanical energy
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!
Can sound energy be changed into another form of energy?
Yes. For a start, if sound gets absorbed by some material, it is converted into heat.
When a sound wave is absorbed its sound energy is changed into?
Most likely kinetic energy, followed by heat, just about everything turns into heat.
Is the source of all energy in our atmosphere?
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
Light energy that is absorbed by Earth's surface is changed into what?
heat, unless it bounces off earth back into space
What is sunlight changed into when it is absorbed?
When sunlight is absorbed it is changed into heat. This is because of the wavelength taken to absorb it.
What is it called when absorbed light energy is released by matter?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
