Why does heat occupy space?
Heat doesn't occupy space.
Can an object occupy a space which is occupied by another object?
No. With large objects it is easy to see that they cannot occupy the same space. Smaller objects can appear as if they can occupy the same space but, at the molecular level they cannot. For example, you can dissolve sugar in a glass of water and it looks as if they are both occupying the same shape - but they are not. At the sub-atomic level, the Pauli exclusion principle prevents objects (electrons) occupying the same space.
What is the amount of space occupied by a two dimensional object?
ZERO Space, because SPAce IS A 3-DIMENSIONAL FEATURE. 2-DIMENSIONAL FEATURES occupy no space , because there is no third dimension.
What are 3 dimensional shape?
They are shapes that occupy a volume in space. They have a length, width (or breadth) and height.
Which is a comparison of the speed of light in a material compared to the speed of light in empty space?
The speed of light in any material medium is less than it is in empty space.
Does light occupy space?
No, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not have mass and therefore does not occupy physical space. It travels in a straight line until it interacts with matter.
Do light and heat occupy space?
Good question.
What is the mass of visible light?
Light is a type of energy.Energies do not have a mass or occupy space.
Does heat and light occupy spaced?
Heat does not occupy space, as heat is just particles vibrating more rapidly. However, if you heat something up, it will occupy more space, due to its particles vibrating over a wider area. Light is much more complicated due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics. Light is made of photons. They're particles but not in the same way that molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons are. Light can behave like waves of energy instead of particles. Normal particles such as electrons occupy a bit of space and 2 of them cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A photon occupies the bit of space it's in, sort of, but another photon can occupy the same space at the same time. So if you have an electon-sized space you can put only one electron in it. If you have a photo-sized space you can put as many photons into it as you want.
Why light cant occupy space?
Light is a form of energy caused by nuclear reactions from the sun.
Why is lighting not matter?
Light hasn't mass.
Do heat and light can occupy space?
No, heat and light are forms of energy, not physical matter, so they do not occupy space in the way that physical objects do. They can be present in a space, but they do not have a fixed volume or mass like matter does.
Describe matter and explain why light is not matter?
Matter consists of atoms and molecules that have mass and occupy space. Light, on the other hand, is a form of energy that behaves like a wave and a particle (photon). It does not have mass or occupy space in the same way that matter does, which is why it is not considered matter.
Why is light not a form of matter?
It doesn't have mass or take up space. <><><><><> Light is energy, and energy is matter, according to Einstein. Besides, it has been proved that light is affected by Gravity and, in order to do that, it has to have mass. Look again at Einstein and others, such as Lorentz... The photon has no mass, or does it? True, it seems to have no mass, but that is at rest state. Multiply that by infinity to account for mass increase and time dilation due to traveling at the speed of light, and what do you get? Something that looks like a particle, having mass, traveling at the speed of light.
Does smoke occupy space?
yes,smoke does have mass and it does occupy space
Does stone occupy space?
A stone has a solid mass and does occupy space.
Why the heat occupy space?
Heat is a form of energy. It can be transmitted through space but it does not occupy space.
