The sun uses nuclear fusion to produce light and energy.

the process is relatively complicated but simplified it looks something like this.

step 1: hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom = deutrerium atom (an isotope of hydrogen (one extra neutron)) + positron + neutrino

step 2: Deutrerium atom + hydrogen atom = helium 3 (an isotope of Helium (missing one neutron)) + energy

step 3: helium 3 atom + helium 3 atom = helium atom + hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom + energy.

When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bulb Which form of energy leave it?

The energy that goes in is electrical energy; the energy that leaves it is visible light, as well as heat.


Which sequence of energy transformations occurs after a battery-operated flashlight is turned on?

Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).


When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bulbwhich form(s) of energy leave it?

When a light bulb is glowing, electrical energy goes into the bulb and is converted into light and heat energy. The light energy leaves the bulb as visible light, while the heat energy is dissipated into the surrounding environment.


Peter warms his hands by placing them at the side of the candle his hands gets heat mainly by what?

He probably gets heat from light energy that then turns into heat energy.


What is it called when light energy strikes an object and changes to heat energy?

This process is called absorption. The object absorbs the light energy, which then gets converted into heat energy.

What is true about energy and how light transforms into heat such as when a light warms up?

Light can be absorbed, and converted to heat.However, if a light-bulb heats up, it's to a great extent due to other effects - for example in the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulb, the electrical energy gets converted FIRST to heat energy; a small part of that heat energy then gets converted into visible light. In other types of light bulbs, the light bulbs get hot mainly because NOT all of the energy gets converted into visible light; part of it gets converted into heat.


When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the light bulb?

Electrical goes in. Electromagnetic (heat and light) come out.


What types of energy might the lights electrical energy be transformed into?

Light, and heat. Once the light gets absorbed, it, too, is converted mainly to heat.
