Gravitational lensing does not depend on a the state of matter of light, rather it is an expression of the geometric curvature of space/time due to mass.

What state of matter is mass?

Its not a state of matter. Its the actual weight of the object without te gravitational force acting on it.


Which state of matter is candlelight?

Light is NOT a state of matter - its photons, pure energy.


Is light related to the state of matter?

No, it is not.


What do you mean by darkness?

Dark matter is matter that is inferred to exist from gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation, but is undetectable by emitted or scattered electromagnetic radiation.


Decribes how compact matter is in space?

The sad fact is that when we discuss compact matter, we're playing with quantum gravity, postulated particles, and a weirdness that uses multiple and compound infinities. However: Propose, that we have more states of matter than many of our best physicists wish to concede for personal reasons. At the beginning, let us consider compact matter. Bars and Svetcos pounded their theory into a plowshare ten years ago, but here are the essentials. Compact matter takes form as a field that lacks all the features associated with baryonic matter. It is of infinite density, C becomes infinite, and this state of matter is purely energetic. We have deduced its presence in deep space by gravitational lensing. Where one would expect MACHO's (Massive Compact Halo Objects) to show a four-pronged gravitational lensing effect, cosmic superstrings show a two-pronged lensing effect. In either case, the gravitation exhibited is consistent with black hole singularities. Compton began work on compact matter as part of his expanding universe theory. He theorized that compact matter sheds "fibers into the void of pure vacuum and it then becomes De Sitter space, with a nonzero mass . . .." Hawking then completed Compton's incomplete theory, and was privileged to name that radiation after himself. (See Hawking Radiation). We may surmise that compact matter is purely energetic, has sufficient gravity to deflect photons traveling near C, and is linked to De Sitter space.


What state of matter is a light bulb?

A light bulb is typically a solid state of matter, as it is made of materials like glass, metal, and plastic. Inside the bulb, the filament is in a gaseous state when the bulb is switched on, but the overall state of the bulb itself remains solid.


What state of matter forms when fluorescent light bulb is turned on?

When a fluorescent light bulb is turned on, it produces light by generating plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, distinct from solid, liquid, and gas, characterized by its ionized particles that conduct electricity.


Can light waves be absorbed by matter?

Light waves are absorbed by electrons, which become elevated in energy state when this occurs. For different electrons on different orbitals the precise frequency is required, and when the electron lowers its energy state it releases a light-wave equivalent to that required to elevate it there initially.


Why is the production of light on a candle a physical change?

Because it a change of state of matter in this case of the the matter in question is gas.


Does the weight of an object change when it changes states of matter?

No, the weight of an object does not change when it changes states of matter because weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on the object, which remains constant regardless of its state of matter.


When a fluorescent light bulb glows what state of matter is it?

it is plasma , gas and liquid


How does state of matter affect light?

The state of matter can affect the way light interacts with it. In solids, light typically gets absorbed or reflected, leading to the appearance of color. In liquids, light can be absorbed and scattered, which can affect its transparency. In gases, light can be transmitted easily, leading to high transparency. Additionally, the refractive index of a material also depends on its state of matter, which affects the speed and direction of light.
