What else can I help you with?
What happens to sun light that strikes a leaf but is not trap by the chlorophyll?
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
What chemical change happens when you lite a firework with wax paper?
When you light a firework with wax paper, the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and burn. This chemical change releases energy in the form of heat and light, igniting the firework composition inside the firework casing. The combustion reactions in the firework composition generate gases and produce the colorful light and loud sounds associated with fireworks.
How does the light from the sun warm the earth?
The sunlight is partially absorbed by materials on Earth; when that happens, the energy in the sunlight is converted into heat energy.
What happens to the light that is missing in an absorption spectrum?
The missing light in an absorption spectrum is absorbed by the substances in the sample and is converted into other forms of energy such as heat or chemical reactions. This absorption of specific wavelengths of light allows scientists to identify and study the composition of substances based on the pattern of light absorbed.
Only a small percentage of the electric energy fed into a light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the remaining energy?
The remaining energy is typically transformed into heat due to the resistance of the bulb's filament. This is why incandescent light bulbs are not very energy efficient. LED light bulbs, on the other hand, are more efficient as they convert more of the energy into light rather than heat.
What is the energy that earths receives from the sun?
light and heat
What is the layer from the sun the earth receives the most energy from?
The layer in which the Earth receives the most energy is the photosphere
What is the composition of sun light when it reaches us?
It turns to solar energy.
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
What happens to electrical energy as a light bulb light?
its being transferred
What happens to light energy when it strikes what happens to light energy when it strikes a leaf?
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
When energy changes from sound to light what happens to the energy?
It changes to another form.
What happens to light energy that is not absorbed by a material?
Light energy that is not absorbed by a material is typically reflected, transmitted, or scattered.
What happens to the energy of photons if the wavelength of light is doubled?
When the wavelength of light is doubled, the energy of photons decreases by half.
What happens to the absorbed light energy when a light wave is absorbed by an object?
When a light wave is absorbed by an object, the absorbed light energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy within the object.
What happens to the electrical energy used to light a light bulb?
It heats the filament (which glows and so generates electromagnetic energy).
What happens to the energy of light absorbed ina an absorbing filter?
It changes to heat energy.
