Which object would you expect to emit more thermal radiation a lamp that is turned on or a rock at room temperature?

A lamp that is turned on would be expected to emit more thermal radiation than a rock at room temperature. The lamp is designed to produce light and heat energy, whereas the rock passively absorbs and radiates thermal energy from its surroundings.


What energy transfers in a lamp?

In a lamp, electrical energy is transferred into light energy and thermal energy. When the lamp is turned on, the electrical energy from the power source is converted into light energy, which illuminates the surroundings. Additionally, a portion of the electrical energy is also converted into thermal energy, which is why lamps can feel warm to the touch after being on for a while.


When particles of a gas lose thermal energy do they move slower or faster?

When particles of a gas lose thermal energy, they move slower. This is because temperature and kinetic energy are directly proportional - as thermal energy decreases, the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases, leading to slower movement.


When you set food under a heat lamp to warm it you are changing radiant heat into this form?

You are changing radiant heat into thermal energy when you set food under a heat lamp to warm it. The heat from the lamp is absorbed by the food, raising its temperature and allowing it to heat up.


What form of radiant energy on the electromagnetic spectrum is given off by objects as they lose thermal energy to their surroundings?

Infrared radiation is the form of radiant energy on the electromagnetic spectrum that is emitted by objects as they lose thermal energy to their surroundings. This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye but can be felt as heat.
