What else can I help you with?
What causes heat and light in stars?
The heat and the light in stars is the same thermal nuclear fission that our Sun (a star) produces.
Does a yellow bug light put off the same amount of heat as regular incandescent light bulb of the same wattage?
YES
Low heat light bulbs produce less light but save on energy costs true or false?
False. Low heat light bulbs can produce the same amount of light, and also save on energy.
Why does heat produce?
Actually, heat is a form of light (infrared). They are both the same thing, according to the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Is light the same as electricity?
Electricity is not the same as electric light. Electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. As electrons travel through the filament of a light bulb the resistance of the filament opposes the flow of current, which creates heat. The filament will heat up so much that it produces a visible light.
How much sweat would have to evaporate per hour to remove the same amount of heat a light bulb produces in an hour?
To remove the same amount of heat as a light bulb in an hour (about 60 watts), approximately 200 ml of sweat would need to evaporate per hour. This calculation is based on the heat of vaporization of sweat and the rate of heat production by a light bulb.
Is electricity the same as electric light?
Electricity is not the same as electric light. Electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. As electrons travel through the filament of a light bulb the resistance of the filament opposes the flow of current, which creates heat. The filament will heat up so much that it produces a visible light.
Do all colors absorb heat?
No, not all colors absorb heat to the same extent. Dark colors tend to absorb more heat than light colors because they absorb more light energy. Light colors reflect more light and heat energy, which is why they are often used in hot climates to keep things cooler.
How heat travels through a vacumm?
Heat travels through vacuum as electromagnetic radiation, exactly the same way that light and radio do.
What type of energy does a light bulb give off?
It makes thermal energy (the heat), radiant energy (what we see), which is in essence more or less the same manifestation.
What happens when hits a solid?
The same with when a light hits a solid; the energy either gets reflected or absorbed. If light hits a dark colored solid, most of the light will be absorbed, and the black object will get warm.If light hits a light-colored solid, most of the light will be reflected, and the white object will stay cool.By the way, the same thing happens to both heat and light, because heat is a form of light; heat is also called infrared light.Further answerIt does depend somewhat on what form this heat is in. If it's radiation then the answer above is fine. But if it's in the form of say, hot air, then there won't be any reflection, just conduction of the heat from the air to the solid.
Can heat be refracted?
Heat cannot be refracted in the same way that light can. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different medium. Heat, on the other hand, is the transfer of thermal energy from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object.
