Does radiant energy produce heat energy when it strikes matter?
To the extent to which the energy is absorbed, yes. Reflectivity and color determine how much energy is absorbed, but no matter can reflect 100% of the energy striking it. Some will be absorbed by the molecules.
What is all matter made of?
All matter is made up of tiny particles called Atoms.
What is organic matter broken down into basic chemicals that then can be absorbed by plant roots?
It is broken down into chemicals called surlodesthat decompose and enter the ground has flakes of bacteria.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
The sun converts matter into energy in the?
The Sun converts matter into energy in its core. The energy is created by reducing its mass through nuclear fission.
What is it called when absorbed light energy is released by matter?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
What is absorbed or released when matter changes from one state to another?
yes. Matter can change state when thermal energy is absorbed or released.
The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?
Excited Electrons
What is the most common form of energy released or absorbed when matter changes?
It's thermal energy my dear.
Can energy be released when matter can it be absorbed can a change in matter in matter take place in which energy is neither released nor absorbed?
Energy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook. Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed. Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?
a chemical change is taking place
Can energy be absorbed when matter changes?
yes it can be absorbed
Does radiant energy produce heat energy when it strikes matter?
To the extent to which the energy is absorbed, yes. Reflectivity and color determine how much energy is absorbed, but no matter can reflect 100% of the energy striking it. Some will be absorbed by the molecules.
What is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy?
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
Can a change in matter take place without energy being released or absorbed?
No, a change in matter can't take place without energy being released or absorbed? Why? Well, this is because every chemical or physical change in matter includes a change in energy. You can't change matter without a change in energy. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Hope you find this helpful. And yes, this answer has been approved by my science teacher.
When matter absorbs a photon what is the relationship between the energy of the matter before and after the absorpion and the frequency and the wavelength of the radiation absorbed?
After the absorption, the matter has added energy equal to 'hf' the energy of the absorbed photon.
When you recycle what type of energy is it?
Energy is stored in all matter- potential in nature. On conversion matter will change it's state or convert to another form of matter. In the process energy is absorbed by it or released from it. Fire wood, when it burns, absorbs oxygen from atmosphere and carbon combines with oxygen releasing heat energy in the process.
