What type of reflection occurs when waves reflect at many different angles?
diffuse reflection
Electromagnetic force occurs when?
an electromagnetic field interacts with charged particles.
Do mirrors reflect all forms of electromagnetic radiation and if yes or no why?
The answer is "not all". Mirrors of various types reflect electromagnetic radiation, but only in given frequencies depending on the materials from which the mirror is made. Mirrored glass or metal can reflect heat as well as light, but some absorption occurs. Radio waves and microwaves also impart energy rather than reflect, and gamma rays could either penetrate into the mirror or pass completely through.
What is vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid?
That would be evaporation; the particles inside the liquid escape from the surface and into the atmosphere/air.
What happens to particles when they evaporate?
If you are talking about water particles, then they turn into a gas which evaporation occurs at around 70 degrees. This is the step before condensation which is when water particles after they have turned into a gas, collect on the surface of an object.

How do particles heat up?
Whenever direct heat is given to any kind of particles/materials, an exothermic reaction occurs. When an exothermic reaction occurs, heat is released. This is what causes the particles to heat up.
What energy change occurs when sound is produced?
Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.
Conversion of subatomic particles occurs in?
Nuclear reactions
What occurs as energy is transferred through a wave?
They move up and down, but do not move forward (NJASK8 Earth Science)
What happens to the particles when you mix copper sulphate and iron?
Diffusion occurs - The particles of copper sulphate move between the particles iron because the particles are tiny and discrete.
Can you separate sand and pebbles?
As long as the particles of sand and pebbles are of different size, you can separate them using a sieve (sifter). The smaller sand particles will pass through the sieve whereas the pebble molecules will not. This is the process that occurs in sifters sold as children's toys.
Why does diffusion occurs?
To reach an equilibrium of concentrated solute particle. It's the process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A simple reason why this occurs is that particles are always bouncing off each other, and an area with a high concentration of particles would be harder for a particle to bounce into than one with very few particles.
What type of reflection occurs when waves reflect at many different angles?
diffuse reflection
Electromagnetic force occurs when?
an electromagnetic field interacts with charged particles.
Why does conduction not occurs at all in a perfect vacuum?
It is because sound travel from particles to particles.In vacuum,there is no material medium and thus no particle through which vibrations can travel from one end to the other.
