What else can I help you with?
What is the functions of a filament in an electric bulb?
To produce the light. When it gets heated, it glows.
What is an called when the object glows when it is heated?
An object that glows when heated is called incandescent. This phenomenon occurs when the object's temperature increases to the point where it emits visible light.
Is white phosphorus that glows when exposed to air a chemical change or a physical change?
White phosphorus is a very reactive chemical because of its structure. When it is heated some, it can react with oxygen to create phosphorus pentoxide (it is in this exothermic reaction that you see the glow). So it is indeed a chemical change.
When you crush a glow stick and shake it the two liquids mix and the stick glows. Is this a chemical reaction and is energy being absorbed or given off?
In a glow stick a chemical reaction occur; the energy is released.
What is the reason Iron glows red when heated?
Iron glows red when heated because as it absorbs heat, the atoms in the metal vibrate more rapidly and release energy in the form of photons, which are visible as light. This process is called thermal radiation. The specific shade of red comes from the wavelength of the photons being emitted at high temperatures.
What is the meaning of incandescence?
the state of glowing while at a high temperature, caused by electrons in vibration atoms and molecules that are shaken in and out of their stable energy levels, emitting radiant energy in the process. The peak frequency of radiant energy is proportional to the absolute temperature of a heated substance
What Element that glows bright orange red?
The element that glows bright orange-red is typically tungsten when it is heated in a light bulb or in a welding arc.
Why tungsten glows?
tungsten is a poor conductor of electricity,tungsten glows when electrical energy from the energy source is flowing through the conductor of electricity and when electrical energy reach the metal filament(tungsten) the tungsten gets electrical energy and produce heat when it became white-hot and the tungsten glows the glows is called light.
How is fire an example of thermal energy?
Fire is an example of thermal energy because it is produced through the rapid oxidation of fuel, leading to the release of heat and light energy. The high temperature of a fire results from the conversion of chemical energy stored in the fuel into thermal energy. Essentially, fire is a form of thermal energy that is generated by a combustion process.
Why does the radium glows in the dark?
i think it's because of this fluro chemical.
Describe the energy transformations that take place when a battery is connected to a light bulb in a series circuit?
The battery connected to the bulb has the potential chemical energy in it when it is connected by means of wire to the bulb the chemical energy in the battery is converted to the electrical energy which flows through the wire to the bulb glows the bulb which is a form of light energy after some time the bulb starts emitting heat which is heat energy.
When electricity pass through the bulb what happens to the filament?
It gets heated up and glows spreading the light
