Excited Electrons
The release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy is called emission. This occurs when the particles return to a lower energy state, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.
It's thermal energy my dear.
Energy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook. Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed. Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.
yes it can be absorbed
The transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called absorption. When light interacts with matter, the energy from the light is absorbed by the particles, causing them to gain energy and potentially change their properties.
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.
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
No, a change in matter can't take place without energy being released or absorbed? Why? Well, this is because every chemical or physical change in matter includes a change in energy. You can't change matter without a change in energy. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Hope you find this helpful. And yes, this answer has been approved by my science teacher.
When matter absorbs a photon, the energy of the matter increases by an amount equal to the energy of the absorbed photon. The frequency and wavelength of the absorbed radiation depend on the energy of the photon and are inversely related - higher energy photons have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.
When matter changes from one state to another, heat is either absorbed or released. For example, when ice melts, heat is absorbed from the surroundings causing the surrounding area to cool down. On the other hand, when water evaporates, heat is released into the surroundings.
