When an object absorbs light energy the object can get warmer.
light energy :) ANSWER: THERMAL ENERGY
The energy from a lit light bulb is mainly transformed into heat and light. The electrical energy from the power source is converted to light energy and a smaller amount of heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation.
In a flashlight, electrical energy from the batteries is converted into light energy and thermal energy. The electrical energy flows through the circuit to power the light bulb, which emits light energy. Some of the electrical energy is also converted into thermal energy due to the resistance in the circuit and the light bulb filament.
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.
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
chemical potential energy (in the fuel being burned) to heat (thermal) energy and a little light energy.
Thermal energy is simply heat. Light a fire.
light and thermal energy
thermal energy
The candle itself isn't but the flame is thermal energy.
A light bulb produces light energy and thermal energy while it is turned on. The light energy is visible light that illuminates the surroundings, while the thermal energy is the heat generated as a byproduct of the light production.
Thermal energy is not light. It is heat! Energy of heat and temperature of matter (more heat=more thermal energy=more movement of molecules) Temperature measures movement of molecules
