A2 Lead is about the least sonorous metal. At earthquake frequencies, it is used to absorb huge quantities of energy. The lead-rubber bearing, consisting of alternate plates of rubber and steel, and with a core of lead, is nowadays used commonly to isolate buildings and bridges from earthquake effects.
Less known are lead extrusion dampers - like giant bicycle pumps, which pump lead from one end to the other. These rely on the fact that lead re-forms almost instantaneously to its crystal form. Both were invented by a New Zealander, W H Robinson.

What non metal absorb light?
Non-metal materials such as glass, plastics, and water can absorb light. These materials absorb light energy by exciting the electrons in their atoms or molecules, leading to an increase in temperature or causing the emission of light in a different form.
When metal is heated the light emitted is because it gains energy as they return to lower energy levels?
Yes, when metal is heated, the atoms in the metal absorb energy and become excited. As they return to their normal energy levels, they release this excess energy in the form of light, which is known as incandescence. This is why heated metal appears to glow.
Does vaporization absorb or release energy?
Vaporization absorb energy.
Name the pigment which can absorb solar energy?
Chloroplasts the pigment which can absorb solar energy.
Does chloroplast absorb energy and manufacture it?
Chloroplast do not produce energy.They absorb energy of sun light.
How does metal absorb heat?
Metal absorbs heat through a process called conduction, where heat energy is transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one through direct contact. When metal is exposed to heat, its atoms vibrate more rapidly, causing the metal to absorb and store the heat energy. This is why metal objects feel warm to the touch after being exposed to heat.
What non metal absorb light?
Non-metal materials such as glass, plastics, and water can absorb light. These materials absorb light energy by exciting the electrons in their atoms or molecules, leading to an increase in temperature or causing the emission of light in a different form.
Why does solar pannel have black metal?
the main purpose of the black metal is to absorb u.v rays from the sun that are used by solar's to generate energy.
What happens when light hits metal?
When light hits metal, the atoms in the metal absorb the energy from the light. This causes the electrons in the metal to become excited and jump to higher energy levels. The electrons may then re-emit the absorbed energy as light if they return to their original energy levels, a phenomenon known as reflection.
Why does a metal bat hit farther than a wood bat?
Wooden bat absorb more energy than metal bat during the contact with object.
What part of the salt is responsible for the flame color?
The metal ions in the salt are responsible for the flame color. When the salt is heated, the electrons in the metal ions absorb energy and jump to higher energy levels. As they return to their original state, they release energy in the form of light, which gives the flame its color.
When metal is heated the light emitted is because it gains energy as they return to lower energy levels?
Yes, when metal is heated, the atoms in the metal absorb energy and become excited. As they return to their normal energy levels, they release this excess energy in the form of light, which is known as incandescence. This is why heated metal appears to glow.
How do springs in a car absorb energy?
A spring absorbs energy by increasing tension when distorted and returning the energy as the tension is released. Most metal springs store energy by twisting a metal bar. The bar may be a tiny wire or a foot thick piece of metal. A coil spring is just the bar set into a coil.
Does vaporization absorb or release energy?
Vaporization absorb energy.
Why does metal change color when heated?
When metal is heated, its atoms vibrate more rapidly and absorb energy. This causes the electrons in the metal to move to higher energy levels, which can change the way they interact with light. This change in electron behavior can result in the metal appearing to change color as different wavelengths of light are reflected.
Can metal absorb solar energy?
Yes, certain metals can absorb solar energy by converting sunlight into heat. This heat can be utilized for various purposes such as water heating or electricity generation through solar thermal systems. Certain metal alloys are also used in photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity.
Name the pigment which can absorb solar energy?
Chloroplasts the pigment which can absorb solar energy.
