The light produced by signs using neon gas results from electrons that are?
It is moving from a higher to a lower pricipal energy level.
What is a fast moving positively charged bit of matter?
With very, very, very high energy, you can get electrons near the speed of light. But they will never reach the speed of light - this is due to them having mass. This is the type of work being done at Accelerator centers like in America (FERMI LAB) and in Europe (CERN). They speed the electrons up to near the speed of light then collide them into each other to learn about these effects of this.
What causes the color when you burn an element?
A spectrum is what it is called when an element burns and produce light. The spectrum of an element is based on what orbit the electrons are in and what energy level the electrons are at.
Electrons passing through a lamp gain or lose some voltage as the light the lamp?
No. One of the principles of Physics is that all electrons are identical, and you can't tell any one electron apart from any other one. Even their numbers don't change. The number of electrons that come out of the light bulb is the same number that went in. What does change on the way through is their energy. They go in with relatively higher energy, fall through several volts to a level of lower energy, and everything the electrons lost radiates out of the bulb in the form of electromagnetic energy ... a lot of heat and a little bit of light.
Are the electrons of an atom affected by temperature?
Temperature definitely affects the electrons of an atom, if the temperature is high enough. That is why fires produce light; the light you see from a fire is emitted by excited electrons.
Are electrons moving through space light?
No; light is photons.
When electrons in a circet pass through a light bulb called the what?
light
What do fast moving electrons give off?
light
Light energy passing through matter unaffected?
Light cannot pass though matter but matter is technically atoms, which are mostly space with a few, moving objects - electrons and the nucleus. For glass, the loss of light through the material occurs for all glass.
Is visible light a type of sound?
no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air
Is light and electricity a form of kinetic or potential energy?
It is energy of moving electrons
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
Electricity refers to elections that do not move lighting?
Electricity is electrons moving through a conductor like copper and creating a current. So no it does not create light unless you rune the electricity through a florescent tube.
Why does a pure chlorophyll flouresces when exposed to light?
Chlorophyll molecules become excited when photons of light strike them. This excitement results in valence electrons moving to a higher energy level. The electrons are transferred through many pigments called antenna pigments until they reach a pigment called the Reaction Center. Normally, the Reaction Center would pass these electrons on to an electron transport chain, but, since pure chlorophyll does not have any electron transport chains, the electrons, which are highly unstable, simply return to their original energy level. Energy is released as the return, and this energy is what we see as fluorescent light.
what is responsible for electricity?
Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. It is inexorably linked to magnetism (and light) - moving electrons create a magnetic field and a magnetic field will cause electrons to move in a conductor and when electrons lose energy light is created.
Where do electrons come from and how it gains energy during the light reaction?
They come from Photosystem ll. Photosystem ll gets them by ripping the electrons off of water by a process called photolysis. Electrons gain energy first in Photosystem ll, then later in photosystem l, through the absorption of energy from light.
Object traveling through the speed of light?
Electrons are able to travel close to speed of light.
