What is an example of mechanical energy to radiant energy?

An example would be a lightbulb, where electrical energy (mechanical energy in the form of moving electrons) is converted to radiant energy (light). The electrical energy causes the filament in the lightbulb to heat up and emit light energy.


What energy change takes place in a light bulb?

There isn't any energy in a lightbulb. A lightbulb is only an energy conversion tool. What happens to that energy has a couple of ansers depending on what frame of reference you are using.A lightbulb converts electrical energy into light and heat; so that is the immediate answer. However, eventually even the energy that leaves the bulb as light becomes heat after the light (radiant) energy strikes an opaque body (non-transparent). So it is also true that eventually all of the electrical energy that is converted by a light bulb eventually becomes heat.


What is a device that transfers electrical energy to light and heat and sound?

An incandescent lightbulb is an example of a device that converts electrical energy into light and heat. A loudspeaker is a device that converts electrical energy into sound.


When electricity passes through the thin wire in a lightbulbit is changed to what?

When electricity passes through the thin wire in a lightbulb, it is changed to light and heat energy. The electrical energy produces heat in the wire, causing it to glow and produce light.


What action best illustrates the transformation of mechanical energy to heat energy and light energy?

A lightbulb turning on is a good example of the transformation of mechanical energy (electricity powering the lightbulb) to heat energy (lightbulb heating up) and light energy (light emitted by the lightbulb).

How does a flaslight work?

A flashlight works by converting electrical energy from batteries into light energy through a bulb or light-emitting diode (LED). When the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed, and the electrical current flows through the bulb or LED, causing it to emit light.


How can you describe the process that causes electrical energy to be transformed into heat and light energy as a current flows in a lightbulb?

Electrical current in a light bulb causes the bulb element to heat up i2R and some heat gets to the level to excite the element electrons. The excited electrons radiate light when returning to normal levels.


How do you convert kinetic energy into light energy?

I can't think of a direct way, but you could use a generator to turn the kenetic energy into electrical and then into light via a lightbulb or LED.


What is light is light energy?

Light energy is a form of energy that is associated with visible light.Examples: The sun, , a lamp, or a lightbulb,, they are all forms of visible light.


What shows a transformation from chemical to electrical and light energy?

One example is a chemical battery. In a battery, chemical reactions within the cells generate electrical energy that is then converted into light energy when the battery powers a light bulb. The chemical energy stored in the battery is thus transformed into both electrical and light energy.


What is the main energy conversion that occurs when you plug in a lamp?

When you plug in a lamp, electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. The lamp's lightbulb transforms the electrical energy into light energy that illuminates the room, while some of the electrical energy is also converted into heat due to the resistance in the bulb's filament.
