What can glow in dark without a energy source?
There is no energy transformation without energy source. It is that the energy source is not battery. Glow-sticks utilize a chemical energy to generate light so it had internal energy source. Phosphorescence or Glow in the dark stored light energy in the form of electron state and re-emitted the light later. Energy is stored in the molecule and thus its' molecule is the energy source.
Which energy source do Ormat and Raser Technologies use?
Geothermal Energy
What is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans?
The Sun is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans. The Sun, heat radiated form the Sun is the main source of energy driving convection in the atmosphere and oceans. There is also a small input form geothermal energy.
What is the preferred source of energy for the heart muscle?
The preferred source of energy for the heart muscle is fatty acids. Fatty acids are "good fats" that are main sources of energy for cells.
What happens to an earthquake when it travels from its source to the ocean floor?
the ocean floor starts to break up just like the land does .
Energy that travels in waves in all directions from its source?
sound waves
How light energy travels when it is released from an energy source?
Along straight lines, in all unblocked directions
How sound travels away from the source?
Sound travels in all directions. it will spread out.
Name the energy source that starts heat travels as light and provides energy for all of earths food chains?
this source is sun
What directions light travel?
Light travels coincentrically in a sphere from it's source (2-pi steradians solid angle.) That is why light from a candle will shine in all directions.
Where does light travel to?
Light emitted by any light source - say, by a lamp, or by the Sun - travels in all directions.
What is the energy source that starts as heat travels as light and provides energy for all of Earth's food chains?
Sunlight
Why is it called Radiation and not something else?
Because "The word radiation is commonly used in reference to ionizing radiation only (i.e., having sufficient energy to ionize an atom), but it may also refer to non-ionizing radiation (e.g., radio waves or visible light). The energy radiates(i.e., travels outward in straight lines in all directions) from its source"
What happens to energy as a wave travels out from its source?
Energy is lost as it travels - thus the wave length grows longer. This is usually called 'redshift' as the wave radiated from the source shifts towards the less energetic red end of the electromagnetic spectrum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum). Wikipedia has more information on redshift - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift.
How do vibrations produce sound?
A sound wave is a transfer of energy as it travels away from a vibrating source.
Electrical energy travels from a power station through what kind of source?
You answer the question because I dont know!
What is called the prime source of energy?
For us here on Earth, the prime source of energy is the Sun.
