The reflection of the light from the sun only hits a certain part of the moon,

the unlit portion is nearly invisible from earth.

The moon is always 50% illuminated. Our position keeps changing, and

so does the portion of the lit-up half that we can see from where we are.

What dry ice goes through what phase change?

The phenomenon is called sublimation.


What is the phase change that occurs when a solid goes directly to a gas without melting first?

The phase change is called sublimation. In this process, a solid changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase.


What is a phase microscope?

A phase-contrast microscope (or phase-difference microscope or phase microscope) allows better viewing of clear specimens that usually need to be stained before you can make out the various parts. Staining is a time consuming process and kills the cells being viewed. With a phase-contrast microscope, living cells can be studied as they go through the cell division cycle.HOW IT WORKSAs light goes through a transparent specimen, there may not be anything interesting to see. However, the light undergoes phase changes as it passes through the different parts of the specimen. Unfortunately, the human eye does not notice phase changes. A phase-contrast microscope converts these unnoticed phase changes into differences in brightness, which the human eye sees very well. The darker and lighter parts of the specimen make it very visible.This also works on reflected light microscopes.


All in all when an object goes through a phase change there is a gaining or losing of what?

When an object goes through a phase change, it either gains or loses energy in the form of heat. For example, during melting or vaporization, energy is absorbed to break intermolecular bonds, whereas during freezing or condensation, energy is released as bonds are formed.


Name and describe the phase change that occurs when dry ice is placed in an opened container at room temperature?

Dry ice (solid CO2) at room temperature changes from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. This is called sublimation.
