Old photographic flashbulbs burn magnesium metal in a reaction that causes a flash of
brilliant white light. A photographer would need to take care not to suffer burned fingers
when trying to replace the hot bulb.
What best identifies the energy transformation that
occurs in the flashbulb?
A: chemical energy to electromagnetic energy and thermal energy
B: electromagnetic energy to chemical energy and thermal energy
C: chemical energy to electromagnetic energy
D: thermal energy to chemical energy - ANSWER: A: chemical energy to
electromagnetic energy and thermal energy
According to the law of conservation of energy, what will most likely happen in a closed
system?

C: Energy will be created along with matter.
D: Energy will be destroyed, but matter will not be destroyed. - ANSWER: B Energy will
be exchanged, but matter will not be exchanged.
