What can happen to light energy travelling through the air when it meets a new substance.?
Light energy can be absorbed, reflected, refracted, or transmitted when it meets a new substance. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the substance, such as its density and composition.
How does a substance gain thermal energy?
A substance gains thermal energy when it absorbs heat from its surroundings. This can happen through various processes, such as conduction, convection, or radiation. The thermal energy causes the particles in the substance to move faster, increasing its temperature.
What three things can happen to light when it encounters a substance?
Light can be absorbed by the substance, reflected off the substance, or transmitted through the substance.
What happens to the temperature of a substance when you prevent gain or loss of thermal energy?
If you define "thermal energy" as heat, and the "substance" is not affected by any energy that increases or decreases its temperature, by definition, nothing will happen to its temperature. If the substance reacts to electromagnetism, light or other radiation, it may increase or decrease its temperature, depending on the nature of the substance and its reaction to those energies. Note: See Discussion question.
What will happen to the state of the substance the atomic or molecular activity and the shape of the graph when thermal energy is added?
When thermal energy is added to a substance, the atomic or molecular activity will increase, leading to higher kinetic energy of the particles. This results in the substance changing states from solid to liquid, and then to gas, if the temperature continues to rise. The shape of the graph will show an increase in temperature with corresponding changes in state, known as phase transitions.

What happen to the heat energy as a substance solifies?
what happen to the heat energy as a substance solidifies
What happen to the average energy of the molecules in a substance when it is heated?
They increase in energy.

How does a substance gain heat?
A substance gains heat, or otherwise known as thermal energy, in many different ways. These can be from pressure, friction, the transformation of chemical energy to thermal energy, the transformation of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy, potential energy to the energy of motion (kinetic energy) or a substance can become exothermic during, and after a chemical change if the amount of energy produced from the broken bonds is greater than the amount of energy required for rearranged bonds to be made.
How does temperature happen?
Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Temperature in Kelvin is proportional to kinetic energy of particles. Heat on the other hand depends on the amount of substance present.
What causes a substance to cool down?
A substance cools down when it releases heat energy to its surroundings through processes like conduction, convection, and radiation. This can happen when the substance is in contact with a cooler object, when it loses heat to the air or water around it, or when it emits thermal radiation.
What happen to the temperature of a substance during a phase change?
The temperature* remains unchanged. * The heat (energy) content changes.
Did anything funny happen to the Boston Celtics when they were travelling?
no
What direction would you happen to have it if you lived in Ohio wanted to go to Illinois?
Travelling from Ohio to Illinois you would travel west and travel through Indiana.
What is an organic substance produced when a muscle is generating energy in the absence of oxygen?
Lactic acid is an organic substance produced when a muscle is generating energy in the absence of oxygen through a process called anaerobic metabolism. This can happen during intense exercise when the muscles cannot get enough oxygen to meet their energy needs.
