Hello everyone this is Kory and we are going to continue talking about heat and light. Today we

2
00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:25,410
will be discussing transforming light into heat. When light energy hits an object some of the

3
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:37,950
energy is absorbed by the object. So let's say an object like a dog is hit

4
00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:45,829
with light energy from the Sun. That dog will take in some of the light energy.

5
00:00:45,829 --> 00:00:57,689
The object will absorb some of the light energy. This energy makes the molecules

6
00:00:57,689 --> 00:01:07,230
of the object vibrate faster. So the molecules of the dog will vibrate faster.

7
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:18,040
They will essentially be shaking more quickly. When we touch the object, we feel

8
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:28,900
this vibration as heat. So when you pet the dog, the dog will feel warmer. The

9
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:40,540
fast vibrations of the molecules in the dog are felt as heat. More light energy

10
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:53,159
is absorbed by dark colors so more light energy is transformed into heat in

11
00:01:53,159 --> 00:02:00,209
in objects that are dark.

12
00:02:00,209 --> 00:02:05,209
So dark colors absorb more light energy.

13
00:02:06,849 --> 00:02:10,229
They take in more light energy.

14
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:15,229
So more light energy is transformed into heat

15
00:02:16,349 --> 00:02:23,090
in these dark objects.

16
00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:27,490
This is the opposite for light colored objects.

17
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:34,490
Objects that have a lighter color reflect light energy.

18
00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:40,490
Light colors do not absorb much light energy.

19
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:50,490
This means less light energy is transformed into heat energy in light-colored objects.

20
00:02:50,490 --> 00:02:55,490
Okay, that's all for now. Hope you're doing well. Goodbye!
