What is it called when Heat travels through solid?
It may be called conduction, or heat transfer since heat only travels from an object to another if it contains a lower amount of heat.
The nucleus of a helium atom is called?
The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
When light behaves like a particle what is the particle called?
A photon.
What is a type of energy transfer?
Energy transfer is when energy is transferred from one body/environment to another, usually involving a conversion of energy. An instance where energy is simply being transferred would be a pot of boiling water. Heat from the stove makes the metal pan hot. It's molecules vibrate very energetically, causing the water molecules right next to the metal molecules to vibrate as well (the pot's walls or bottom and the water molecules directly in contact with them). Here, energy has been transferred from one body to another. Then the water molecule which gained energy(the ones right next to the pot's bottom) will vibrate, making their neighbouring water molecules to vibrate as well! And thus the energy will travel. One instance where energy is converted and transferred would be when u press down a spring. The muscular energy (also called chemical energy) stored in ur muscles is converted to elastic potential energy of the spring! If u let go off the spring, it will jump back/spring up: the energy it will use to spring up is actually the chemical energy that was in ur arms but which had now been transferred to the spring. Hope that helped (:
What energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
What is a charge particle that forms when one or more electrons are transferred from one element to another?
It is called an Ion.
What give us light?
Light is given by a subatomic particle called a photon. All types of light are transferred by this from gamma rays to microwaves. Although It is called a particle from the double slit experiment we can see that the photon can act like particle and a wave
Is particles Gravitons responsible for gravitational force?
Yes. It is commonly believed that the gravitational force is transferred through a particle called the graviton. This particle is hypothetical - it has not been observed yet.
What is it called when particles are in a fixed position but can. Vibrate?
what is a fixed position and vibrate on the spot
The smallest particle of an element is called?
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
What is the transfer of heat from particle to particle called?
the process by which heat can be transffered from one particle of matter to another is called conduction.in this process ,,the heat absorbed at one particle is transferred to a neighbouring particle contrary to the process called convection where the particles move themselves .an example of conduction : when u heat a rod at one end , after sometime u can feel the heat at the other end as well.
Which subatomic particle or particle have a negative charge?
This particle is called electron.
Which type of energy transfer occurs when water is heated on a hot plate?
It is called conduction. The molecules vibrate and the energy transferred between molecules from a high temperature area to a low temperature area.
What is it called when Heat travels through solid?
It may be called conduction, or heat transfer since heat only travels from an object to another if it contains a lower amount of heat.
The nucleus of a helium atom is called?
The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
What is a subatomic particle called that is negatively charged?
This particle is the electron.
The particle to particle mode of heat transfer is called?
Conduction.
