If the solid is made of ice, then it will melt. But if you have enough heat, you can make the solid item melt.

What happens when heat is added to a solid?

When heat is added to a solid, its particles start vibrating more rapidly, increasing their kinetic energy. This causes the solid to expand slightly as the particles spread out. If enough heat is added, the solid may reach its melting point and turn into a liquid.


What happens to solid when absorb or release heat?

When a solid absorbs heat, its temperature increases and the particles within the solid vibrate more rapidly, leading to an expansion in volume. When a solid releases heat, its temperature decreases and the particles vibrate less, causing the solid to contract in volume.


How does heat move as a solid?

In a solid, heat is transferred through a process called conduction. This happens when heat energy is transferred from one particle to another in a solid material through direct contact. The particles vibrate faster as they gain energy, causing adjacent particles to also vibrate and transfer heat.


What happens when heat hits a solid?

The same with when a light hits a solid; the energy either gets reflected or absorbed. If light hits a dark colored solid, most of the light will be absorbed, and the black object will get warm.If light hits a light-colored solid, most of the light will be reflected, and the white object will stay cool.By the way, the same thing happens to both heat and light, because heat is a form of light; heat is also called infrared light.Further answerIt does depend somewhat on what form this heat is in. If it's radiation then the answer above is fine. But if it's in the form of say, hot air, then there won't be any reflection, just conduction of the heat from the air to the solid.


When heat is supplied to a solid substance what happens to the energy?

When heat is supplied to a solid substance, the energy is absorbed by the molecules, causing them to vibrate faster and thus increasing their kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy allows the solid to eventually change phase into a liquid or gas, depending on the substance and the amount of heat supplied.

What happens if you add heat to a solid it will?

If a solid is subjected to heat, it will expand. On reaching its melting point, the solid will become liquid. At boiling point it will convert in to gaseous form. These are the three states of a matter.
