Question

1. Which of the following energy transformation occurs when your skin heats up after sunlight is focused on it
through a magnifying glass?
a Chemical heat
b. light-heat
c. nuclear-light
d. mechanical heat​

Answer 1

Answer:

An example of an energy transformation that occurs in the natural world is the process of photosynthesis. In the Sun, chemical energy transforms into light and thermal energy. Plants transform the Sun's light energy into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

b) Light heat is the energy transformation taking place.

Explanation:

The sun's light energy causes the object's particles to vibrate, converting the light energy into heat energy.

There is no use of chemical, nuclear material or mechanical work done hin the above case to produce heat.

Therefore, the only possible mechanism or the skin heating due to the sunlight can be the transformation of light energy into heat.
