What are some examples of chemical energy conv erted into light energy?

Fire The wood is a chemical energy and the fire (gasoline) is a chemical energy the heat from the fire obviously gives off heat and the "crackles" you hear gives off sound energy and the flame gives off light energy


What is an example of chemical energy transforms into thermal energy?

An example of chemical energy transforming into thermal energy is when gas or wood is burned in a fire. The chemical energy stored in the gas or wood molecules is released as heat and light energy during combustion, creating thermal energy in the form of fire.


Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?

Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.


How is energy from chemical energy released and transferred into thermal energy?

Chemical compounds, like oil or coal, hold potential chemical energy in the powerful molecular bonds with the compound. If such a chemical compound undergoes a chemical reaction (in this case in an internal combustion engine), the potential chemical energy will be released in the form of thermal energy. Of course, no energy transformation is 100% efficient as some of the potential chemical energy is either not converted at all or converted into a different form of energy. Take the example of a fire in one's fire place. Although a large percentage of the potential chemical energy in the wood is converted into thermal energy that we can feel as heat, some of the energy is converted into light, that we can see as the brightness of the fire, and some is converted into sounds, as we can hear in the roaring of the fire.


What is chemical energy for kids?

Chemical energy is a type of potential energy that is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. It is released when those bonds are broken during a chemical reaction. An example is the energy released when you burn wood in a fire, as the chemical bonds in the wood are broken down to release heat and light.

Wood has energy while a burning fire has energy?

Wood contains potential energy stored in its chemical bonds, whereas a burning fire releases this energy as heat and light through a chemical reaction called combustion. Consequently, the energy in the wood is transformed into thermal and radiant energy when the fire burns.


What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?

Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.


Is fire heat energy?

Not quite. Heat is a result of combustion, but fire is actually chemical energy.

Which energy is transformed in a gas fire?

In a gas fire, chemical energy from the combustion of the gas is transformed into heat and light energy. The chemical energy stored in the gas molecules is released as heat and light when they react with oxygen in the combustion process.


What chemical is thermal energy produced by fire?

A fire produce water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ash, smoke, etc.Thermal energy is not a chemical substance.


Is fire an example of potential energy?

No, fire is an example of chemical energy, not potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or state, while chemical energy is stored within the bonds of chemical compounds and is released during a chemical reaction.
