What is the Production of light in an atom?
When atoms are heated they vibrate, and vibrating electrons will give off light particles, also known as photons. This is a side effect of the electromagnetic force. Every electron has an electric charge and therefore generates an electromagnetic force field which extends very far out in space (technically, it extends itself at the speed of light for as long as that electron has existed). So when an electron vibrates, its associated force field also vibrates, and the resulting forces that are transmitted along that force field are equivalent to a particle of light. Waves and particles are not separate phenomena at the sub-atomic level, they are just two ways of looking at the same thing (sometimes called wavicles).
Is sound a particle or wave?
Sound is a wave. When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding medium to vibrate as well, transmitting energy through a series of compressions and rarefactions. This wave motion carries the sound waves through the air until they reach our ears, where they are interpreted as sound.
Which part of the vibrates when soundwaves hit it?
The membrane that vibrates and transmits the vibrations is called the tympanic membrane or the eardrum. It is the divider between the external and middle chambers of the ear.
What vibrates more hot or cold particles?
yes they do
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is the thin membrane in the ear that vibrates when sound waves reach it. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle and inner ear for further processing.
Which process results in an electromagnetic wave?
An electric change vibrates and a magnetic field vibrates in response.
Can light be created by vibrations?
Yes, light can be created by vibrating charged particles. When charged particles such as electrons vibrate or accelerate, they emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of light. This is the principle behind various light sources such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps.
Would a vibrating proton produce an electromagnetic wave Would a vibrating neutron?
Yes, because it has a charge (+). Any charged particle that vibrates produces an electromagnetic wave at the frequency determined by the number of vibrations per second. The magnitude is determined by the how far the particle goes from max. to min. on each cycle.
How does a wave travel through a medium?
When a particle vibrates (moves back and forth), it can pass its energy to the particle next to it.
What is it called when a particle of a medium vibrates back and forth?
When a particle of a medium vibrates back and forth, it is called simple harmonic motion. This type of vibration occurs in a periodic manner around a central equilibrium position.
Is Light Produced When Matter Vibrates?
Light is not produced directly when matter vibrates. However, when charged particles within matter vibrate or accelerate, they can emit electromagnetic radiation, which includes light. This phenomenon is responsible for various light sources, such as incandescent light bulbs and stars.
How is heat transfered though space?
there are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer through space requires radiation, which involves the electromagnetic waves: gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave & radiowave.
What vibrates and moves through space at the speed of light to make an electromagnetic wave?
light
What makes a convection current?
basically each particle " vibrates " and when the particle transfers the energy with momentum. if you want any more details on the transition you will have to see a professional
What is a wave that consists of changing electric and magnetic fields that vibrates at right angles to each other?
Electromagnetic wave
What is the band of light waves in the electromagnetic spectrum that vibrates at frequencies our eyes can detect?
That's called visible light.
What actually vibrates in a light wave is it space and if so how does nothing vibrate?
In a light wave, it is the electromagnetic field that vibrates. The space itself is not vibrating; rather, it is the disturbance in the electromagnetic field that propagates through space as a wave. This vibration is a result of the changing electric and magnetic fields interacting with each other.
