What is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy?
"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.
What is the transfer of light energy to particles of matter called?
Absorption
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
What occurs when energy from light waves is transferred to particles in matter?
energy transfer allows things to heat each other and to allow motion because if particles did not interact with each other (energy transfer) each atom would be able to pass through other atoms
Which method of energy transfer does not involve the movement of matter?
Energy transfer takes place by convection (the movement of hot air or other fluids due to diferences in densiity), conduction (transfer of heat through contact - caused by collisions between adjacent particles), or radiation (the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves such as light or infra-red rays).Radiation requires matter to create and absorb the EM waves, (i.e. you need a hot object to give off the IR waves) but the waves themselves can travel through a vacuum, so do not require matter to transfer energy.

What is the transfer of of energy carried by light waves to particles in matter?
This process is called energy absorption.
What is the transfer of energy from light waves to matter?
light gas
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
Are the particles that make up light the same particles that make up all matter?
No. Light is a form of energy. Matter has mass. Light has no mass.
Do light waves transfer energy?
Do light waves transfer energy

Why is light energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed. Light is a form of energy because it is transporting protons at speed. All matter contains energy, movement of particles is therefore, a form of energy.
