How "does"... not "do"!
The heat the lamp radiates raises the temperature of the ice above its melting point (0ºC). It takes a fair amount of heat-exchange to change the state of water from liquid to solid and vice-versa.

∙ 14y agoRed colour light melts ice faster.Its because the red light has much energy than other colours of light.Infact the infrared radiation would be much be better since it has much better heating effect.But since the question is which colour and infrared is not visible to our naked eye,therefore the ans is red colour light

Can you melt ice with a flashlight?
yes. if the flash light produces enough heat
Can you melt people?
You as a human cannot melt from heat. The worse thing is that you might get burnt. EXP: An ice cube will melt in heat...I don't think you're an ice cube!! :)
What happens when heat meets a solid?
If the solid is made of ice, then it will melt. But if you have enough heat, you can make the solid item melt.
Does the size of ice affect its melting time?
Because the larger the piece of ice is, the longer it will take for heat to melt it. I smaller piece of ice has fewer layers that heat needs to penetrate to melt it compare to a larger piece of ice.
How much heat is required to melt 5 kg of ice?
it depends how cold the ice is
Does the distance of light affect the time it takes for an ice cube to melt?
It might, if the light bulb is giving off heat such that the place the ice-cube is in is warmer than the temperature of the surrounding area. Otherwise, no.
Does ice cream melt in the sun or in heat?
yes! that's why when you light the candle it melt because of heat that surrounds in it!
Does sand melt ice?
Sand abosorbs light better then ice. So the heat melts the ice.
Will ice melt faster in the sun or under a light bulb?
Melting IceUsually in light, and even faster if the light produces heat. AnswerYes. If all other aspects of your environment are exactly the same, ice will melt faster in the light. But the difference will be very, very minor [think milliseconds faster to melt an ice cube]. This is assuming that you are using distant, or non-thermal light source (like the sun, or a florescent light bulb). This difference is caused by the ice absorbing some of the light and converting it to heat. The darker the ice is, the more of an effect it would have. If you took frozen grape kool-aid instead of water, it would melt much faster in the sunlight because it absorbs more light. Now, if you place the ice cube on a dark surface, which is also in the (sun)light, that will make a BIG difference because the dark surface will get warm and indirectly warm/melt the ice.Melting occurs when the temperature of the ice goes above 0°C. There are two primary ways that the temperature of the ice can increase:Direct contact with a warmer material (this includes the air around it).Absorbtion of radiation (this includes light).Since light does not pass through ice completely (if it did, ice would be invisible), some of the light is converted into heat. But only a small amount of the light absorbed, so exposure to light has some, but very little effect on how fast ice melts.Infrared light (which is not visible to humans) is readily absorbed by ice, but it is also absorbed by air. So if you are close to a source of IR light (such as an incandecent light bulb), the ice will warm faster and melt faster.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes because all light produces heat so the plateau will be shorter via faster to transforming into a liquid.````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Billy forgot to eat his ice cream while he was watching television,and it melted.He thought the ice cream melted melted because it was in the light.as soon as it got dark
Can you melt ice with a flashlight?
yes. if the flash light produces enough heat
Will light or dark colors absorb more light to melt the ice cube?
Dark colors absorb heat from light better.
Will dark fabric melt ice in the sun or will light fabric melt in the sun?
Probably light fabric, because it reflects more heat than dark fabric.
What has to happen to melt ice?
the ice melt when there s some heat move into it.
How can you tell if a hid bulb is blown?
when HID bulbs blow up they can actually just be emitting the wrong kind of light. you can't see it but it is actually emitting powerful infared radiation. you can check for this by turning the bulbs to where they are supposed to be on and then placing a block of ice in front of the affected bulb. if the bulb is blown the ice will not melt. if it works, it will melt the ice
What is added to ice to make it melt and how does this affect the molecules in the ice?
Heat is added to ice to make it melt.
How does snow and ice melt?
Heat.
What the best way melt ice without use of heat?
There is no way to melt ice without heat. If you see ice melting, you know that it is absorbing heat. There is no other way for this to happen.
