A beam of light becoming dimmer is a physical change since it is reversible. Recharging its source will make the light beam bright again.

Is giving off light a physical or chemical change?

I would think it to be a Physical Change. Not chemical.


Is production of heat or light physical or chemical change?

i think it would be physical because it is still energy.


Is a firefly giving off light a chemical or physical change?

It's not a change at all. It is simply what the firefly does. But it is a result of a chemical change within the firefly. A chemical reaction involves a transfer of energy. In this case, the energy would go into creating light waves from the molecules in the firefly, causing it to glow.


If a firefly glows in the dark is that a chemical or physical change?

It's a physical change. A chemical change is when a new substance is formed. A physical change is when something looks, feels, tastes, or smells different, but it's the same substance. You see the firefly is always glowing, it's just the fact that the human eye cannot see it because it is being over powered by the light of the Sun; but it's still the same firefly.


Mass does not change during a chemical change how about for a physical change?

Physical changes are like cutting paper. The mass does not change. Chemical changes do not change total mass either. If you put a candle in a sealed container so that you may measure the total mass of the candle and the air before burning, then light the candle electrically but keep everything sealed, the total mass after burning will still be the same. But if you measure only the candle, then its mass has changed. So the mass of one single 'ingredient' will change during a chemical change.

Is flash cameras flashing a chemical or physical change?

The flash of a camera is a physical change, not a chemical change. A physical change is a change in the form of a substance without changing its chemical composition. In the case of a camera flash, electrical energy is converted into light energy, which is a physical process that does not alter the chemical makeup of the components involved.


Is combustion a physical change?

NO its a chemical change for it can't be reversed


Is heat light and change in odor indicate a physical change?

Heat, light, and change in odor can indicate a physical change depending on the context. For example, melting ice into water is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the substance. However, if a substance undergoes a chemical reaction that results in heat, light, and change in odor, then it would be considered a chemical change.


Is the generation of light by an electric lamp a chemical or physical change?

This is a physical change. When the electrons go through the filament (or gas), there is no chemical change, only the physical change of temperature. The electricity to power the light may be generated chemically (fossil fuels or batteries) or from a hydroelectric plant. The light from "glow sticks" is an example of light generated by chemical changes.
