The molecules in an object begin to move because of the heat. The moving of the molecules cause the space between them to expand. That is how blacksmiths are able to change the shape of metals.

What is an called when the object glows when it is heated?

An object that glows when heated is called incandescent. This phenomenon occurs when the object's temperature increases to the point where it emits visible light.


When an object is heated it increases What is this called?

When an object is heated, it increases in temperature. The process of an object gaining heat and becoming warmer is known as thermal expansion.


When an object is heated to higher temperatures what happens to its wavelength of emission?

When an object is heated to higher temperatures, its wavelength of emission decreases. This is because higher temperatures result in higher energy levels of emitted photons, corresponding to shorter wavelengths. This phenomenon is described by Wien's displacement law.


Can an object being heated be hotter than the source heating it?

Yes, the only way for that to work is if you have the right amount of oxygen, though. Blue fire can get hotter if it's heated by red fire and sand can be heated by lightning, causing it to turn to glass. Without the the right amount of oxygen, the object being heated will only get as hot as its source. Very rarely does the object get hotter than its source.


What idea explains that molecules of an object military be faster as the object is heated?

As an object is heated, its molecules gain more kinetic energy, causing them to move faster. This increase in molecular motion results in higher average speeds of the molecules, which is why the object feels hotter to touch.

What happens to a substance or object when it is heated?

It expands.


What happens to the object that is heated and increases in temperature and the atoms become pushed farther apart?

When an object is heated and its temperature increases, the atoms within the object move more rapidly, causing them to push farther apart. This expansion results in an increase in the volume of the object.

Atoms or molecules when they are heated.


What happens to the light emitted by a heated object as its temperature increases?

Initially invisible infra red radiations. Then as temperature increases it becomes red. As still temperature increases it turns into yellow. When further increase happens, it starts giving out almost all colors including blue, violet and so it seems white hot. As an object is heated, it's maximum electromagnetic frequency increases. So you can measure the heat of an object by its emitted spectrum.
