Is energy formed when light energy hits matter?
Here is as close as you can come to a sacred rule in science: Energy is Neither Created Nor Destroyed. At most, it can be converted from one form to another. When light energy (let's say sunshine), which is made of photons, falls on matter (let's say a brick), the matter is heated and it reemits this heat, also in the form of photons, but of longer wavelength that those of the light. If we pile on the heat, as by putting the brick in a kiln, eventually it would begin to glow with light energy, which is to say with photons of shorter wavelength. As we all know, E=MC2, or Matter is really just a REALLY concentrated form of Energy, which is actually moving even if to our senses it is still and cold. When things are burned or involved in nuclear reactions, the universe loses some matter and gains some energy, but since they're both the same thing, the Rule still holds: neither created nor destroyed.
What type of energy is transfered as a bat hits a ball?
You transfer energy[chemical] from your body to the bat[kinetic] to attack the ball. No energy is lost, but some heat is. It is the same as the Law of Conservation of matter. Hope this helps! =D
Is the sun thermal energy?
No antil it hits erth then it turns into thermal energy.
Three different ways light interacts with matter?
Keeping it simple, the three ways electromagnetic (EM) waves interact with matter include reflection, refractionand absorption.In reflection, the EM energy "bounces off" what it strikes. In refraction, the EM energy enters the material, but changes direction when it does. In absorption, the energy of the EM wave is "taken up" by the matter, and the energy is distributed within the atomic structure into which it entered.
When light hits an object some of the light is absorbed by what?
matter
Does the moon gets lihgt directly from the sun?
Yes. Light from the Sun hits the Earth, the Moon, and all of the other planets, moons and asteroids. When we see "moonlight" we are actually seeing reflected sunlight.
How solar energy is formed?
the sun has solar energy so that is one way it is started.

When light hits matter does it stop?
no,actually light posess both wave nature and particle nature,when it hits on matters it may reflect,absorbed,rtc.depents on matter,lets teke example of metal sheet,when light hits it the energy of photon contents will transfered to it,so the electrons in the surface will emitted with a kinetic energy depents on energy tranfered,its example is x-ray,when laser beams hits on metal surface x-rays are produced the colour are produced by the absorptiond reflection property,ie,if a particle reflect all light it will be white in color,if it absorbs colour it will looks like black,so light when hits matter its getting absorbed or reflected,it cannot be stopped!
Is your reflection in the mirror made of matter?
No. It's caused by the material in the mirror reflecting the light that hits the mirror back at you. So you might say a reflection is made of light. Actually this answer depends on defining matter. By Einstein's modern definition of matter, which includes photons (due to its type of energy) It is matter. SO IT IS MATTER.
What is formed when a meteor hits the earth?
a CRATER
If a Meteorite hits what should you do?
If its hits close to where you live, it wouldn't matter what you do. You'd be desinagrated.
What do you call a foul ball that your friend hits?
No matter who hits it, it's a foul ball.
Is the sun thermal energy?
No antil it hits erth then it turns into thermal energy.
What is the material formed when lightning hits a beach?
Some form of glass.
Where was the band Brass Construction formed?
The group Brass Construction was formed in Brooklyn in New York in 1968. They had minor hits with their songs but they also found that their music was sampled by other artists and included in their hits.
