What is the energy change in a lighted candle?
When a candle is lit, the potential energy stored in the wax is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy through the process of combustion. This energy change is exothermic, meaning that energy is released in the form of heat and light.
What is the literal meaning of photosynthesis?
The literal meaning is: To create or put together by using light - in other words, exactly what plants do to survive.
What the meanings of photosynthesis?
It is a Greek word. It is made up of the words φως (phos, meaning light) and σύνθεσις (synthesis, meaning putting things together in order to make something). Therefore the meaning is "using light to make something" (energy to grow, etc) Save
Is blue light or red light hotter?
Red light is hotter than blue light. This is because red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to blue light, meaning it carries less energy. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, and red light has less energy to transfer compared to blue light.
Describe how the meaning of the term photosynthesis is a combination of the meaning of the prefixes photo and syn?
photo is from a Greek word fos, meaning light.syn is from the Greek word syn, meaning with.thesis is from the Greek word tithemi, meaning to put or make.if you add syn to thesis you get synthesis, meaning to make by combining, or blending.photo synthesis : making by combining using light. (carbon dioxide + water = sugar, using light energy).
Meaning of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is energy released either by fissioning of heavy nuclei such as Uranium235 or Plutonium239, or by fusion of light isotopes such as those of hydrogen.
What energy is a candle?
chemical
Where does solar energy come from?
Simply put, solar, meaning Sun, energy comes from the Sun. Solar energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, and by humans through solar panels. Photovoltaic cells are assembled into large panels which are then organized into "farms" of photovoltaic panels. Photo, meaning light, and voltaic, meaning electricity, means that these panels harness energy from light. Light from the Sun strikes these panels and is transferred into energy.

Which has more energy a photon of red light or photon of violet light?
The violet light has more energy than the red light. Red light is lower on the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning it has a lower frequency (or longer wavelength). You'll recall the colors of the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, etc., and these are the colors going up the frequency spectrum. Photons higher on the spectrum are higher in frequency and energy.
Is the energy carried by a light particle related to its speed or wavelength?
The energy carried by a light particle is related to its wavelength. The energy of a light particle is inversely proportional to its wavelength, meaning that shorter wavelengths carry more energy. The speed of light does not affect the energy of the photon.
Why is sunlight a good renewable resource?
Heat and light are energy, meaning it can be transferred to solar panels or whatever and reused as different energy
