What happens when light moves form one kind of matter to another?
that changes the speed of the light, which makes the light bend
When matter is heated or cooled what about its changes?
its a movement of small particles of matter
What is changed when matter undergoes a phisical change?
When matter undergoes a physical change (like changes in the state of matter), the space between the particles in the matter and how the particles move change.
What occurs when light changes direction after colliding with particals of matter?
something magical.
What wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel?
A Compressional wave.

What happens to the direction of light when matter reflects light?
the light changes direction.
What is the relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of the matter?
As the space changes between the particles, so does the state of matter.
What is changed when matter undergoes a phisical change?
When matter undergoes a physical change (like changes in the state of matter), the space between the particles in the matter and how the particles move change.
How do the particles that make up matter compare during physical and chemical changes?
The particles that make up matter are unchanged during physical, or chemical changes. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
What happens to the particles of matter when a liquid changes to a gas-?
The particles are no longer fixed by the forces keeping it a liquid
When you compress matter do the particles change size?
no, the space between them changes.
How do the particles in matter affect its properties?
when the particles gain energy,they move more vigorously.pressure increases but the volume remains constant.therefore,the matter changes shape as the particles use this energy to break the attractive forces between them....

How does such motion affect the matter's volume and shape?
It Moves the particles diffrent direction and that's what makes the difference :)
When the potential energy of a material changes what happens to the materials what of matter changes?
In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another
