No. It is not really a change at all. When you turn on a light you simply allow electrons to flow through a circuit and through a tungsten filament. The tungsten has high resistance and so electrons loose energy through collisions and release light at many various wavelegths. No materials are undergoing any changes. They end upp the same way as they started.

In a toaster what kind of energy is used?

The inside of a toaster includes electrical energy (what runs the toaster), radiant/light energy (the light coming off of the coils), and thermal/heat energy (what cooks the food in the toaster).


Are light rays a form of chemical energy?

The internal energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms is a form of potential energy that is sometimes called chemical energy. Basically, chemical energy is internal energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms. Chemical energy is an example of potential energy. Light rays are electromagnetic energy they can be a good example of this is photosynthesis.


Is a dry cell used in a flashlight an example of mechanical energy?

No, a dry cell used in a flashlight is an example of chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical reactions in the battery produce electrical energy that powers the flashlight.


What is an energy conversion that involves chemical energy?

The conversion of chemical energy into thermal energy through combustion is a common example. Burning wood or gasoline releases the stored chemical energy in the form of heat and light energy.


Examples of chemical energy to light energy?

Chemical energy is converted to light energy in a chemical reaction called chemiluminescence. An example is the reaction between a chemiluminescent substance like luminol and hydrogen peroxide, which produces light without the need for heat or electricity. Another example is the combustion of magnesium in air, which releases energy in the form of light.

Does the inside of a toaster have chemical energy?

No, assuming that by "chemical energy" you mean "chemical reaction." Toasters use resistance heaters (i.e. relatively thin wires carrying electricity) to impart radiation to the contents. This allows for almost infinite reuse.


Is a toaster an example of mechanical energy?

No, a toaster is an appliance that transforms electrical energy into heat energy. It does not involve mechanical energy directly in its operation.
