When light or longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation is absorbed in matter, it is generally converted into thermal energy (heat). Shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays) can ionize atoms and cause damage to living cells.

Item ID Number	Item Description	Select This Item for My Item Bank
RG146001	Whether a metal plate is placed next to or above a light bulb (at the same distance) will not affect the amount of energy transferred to the metal plate by electromagnetic radiation.
RG143002	A light shines on a bowl of water. As the temperature of the water increases, the water absorbs more energy than it emits; when the temperature of the water is constant, the water emits the same amount of energy that it absorbs.
NG039003	A boy will feel cooler when he holds a blanket up between him and a radiator because the blanket is blocking the energy being given off by the radiator.
RG142002	If Block A is at 600F and Block B is at 0F, there is a net transfer of energy from Block A to Block B because Block A radiated more energy than it absorbed and Block B absorbed more energy than it radiated.
RG150002	Which graph plots the rate at which energy is absorbed and emitted by water in a container over a four-hour period?
RG146002	Light shines on a plate. Moving the plate to a different location that is the same distance away from the light will not change the amount of energy transferred to the plate. (with diagrams)

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (ASPECt) and other key ideas
RG004002	More energy will be transferred to a hand when it is above a flame than when it is beside the flame because in addition to the energy that is radiated by the flame, energy is also transferred by the movement of the warm air upward to the hand when it is above the flame.
RG151002	Water gives off an increasing amount of energy as its temperature is increasing, and gives off a steady amount of energy when its temperature stays constant.
NG102003	A person will feel cooler when she holds a blanket up between her and a campfire because the blanket is blocking the energy being radiated by the fire.
