What else can I help you with?
In optics the transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called?
In optics, the transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called absorption. This occurs when the photons of light are absorbed by the particles, resulting in an increase in the particles' energy level.
Is a igneous rock light or heavy?
inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia
What are massless particles traveling the speed of light?
Massless particles traveling at the speed of light include photons, the particles of light. They have no rest mass and always move at the speed of light in a vacuum according to the theory of special relativity.
The fact that light can exert a pressure on matter suggests that it is made of particles called .?
The particles of light are called photons.
Are the particles move the faster in the light bulb or in a campfire?
Particles move faster in a campfire than in a light bulb. In a campfire, the heat generated is much higher, causing the particles to move at a faster rate compared to the lower heat levels in a light bulb.
What measure of how light or heavy something is for its size?
Density is the measure of how light or heavy something is for its size, calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. It indicates how compact the particles are within a substance.
What are mass particles?
Particles that are heavy. Mass is like MASSive (massive) and massive objects could be heavy.
Particles of light are called what?
Light particles are called Photons.
Is Light has many of the properties of waves but light can also act as though it is a stream of?
... particles.... particles.... particles.... particles.
What is another word for light as is not heavy?
Another word for "light" as in not heavy is "lightweight."
What is the oppersite of heavy?
The opposite of heavy is light.
What is the heavy particles of an atom?
proton
What particles of light called?
Light particles are called Photons.
Which diffuse faster heavy particles or light particles?
In general lighter particles should diffuse faster than heavier particles, this could be extrapolated from the relationship to mass, volume, and energy. If we look at particles of all the same, ideal, substance, we would see that an object with less mass would be smaller but would also require less energy to move. That is, at the same temperature a particle of lower mass would move faster than a similar particle of heavier mass. We also see that smaller particles also maximize surface area/mass - this is also conducive to faster diffusion.
What is particles of light called?
photon
What would you call particles of light?
The particles of light are known as photons.
When light is emitted as particles it is called?
When light is emitted as particles, it is called photons. Photons are the basic unit of light and have properties of both particles and waves.
