Is a firefly giving off light a chemical or physical change?

It's not a change at all. It is simply what the firefly does. But it is a result of a chemical change within the firefly. A chemical reaction involves a transfer of energy. In this case, the energy would go into creating light waves from the molecules in the firefly, causing it to glow.


Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?

There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)


What is the source of light in firefly?

Firefly gets it's light by what is called as bioluminescence. In this phenomena, you get the light generated by animal, plant or some types of microorganisms. Here you get the light generated without production of the heat. In case of firefly you get the light intermittently. So that the the partner should be spotted, when light is on and the risk of being caught by the predator is reduced, when the light is off.


What are three things that light can do?

Light energy can be converted into heat, electricity, kinetic energy, or even to trigger chemical reactions. Energy is neither created nor destroyed.


When light energy from the Sun strikes a leaf how is the energy conserved?

When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.

What are 3 sources of energy that can cause light emissions?

Chemical energy will produce the light in a firefly, or in a hand-held glow tube. Electrical energy will produce the light in a light bulb. Heating something up to a high enough temperature will produce light. Burning a material may produce light.

Is a firefly emitting light chemical or physical change?

That would be a chemical change because the firefly produces a bio-luminescent chemical. This chemical produces light which you see when the fire fly lights up!


Why do fireflies glow at night?

Fireflies or lightning bugs use specific flash patterns to signal potential mates. Their glow also lets predators know that they taste bad.They have a bulb that glows. The male firefly has only one bulb whereas the female firefly has two bulbs which allows it to glow brighter than its male counterpart.
