Whats an example of chemical energy being turned into radiant energy, then heat energy?
An example of chemical energy being turned into radiant energy, then heat energy is using a flashlight. The battery inside uses a chemical reaction (chemical energy) to drive electrons throught an outside circuit that includes a light bulb. As electrons pass through the filament, light (radiant energy) and heat energy are produced, since the light bulb gets warm to the touch. Another example is burning a candle. The chemical energy comes from the reaction between the candle wax and oxygen in the air. The reaction is exothermic producing light (radiant energy) and heat.
