Question

How does light energy work

Answer 1

Answer:

Light consists of photons, which are produced when an object's atoms heat up. Light travels in waves and is the only form of energy visible to the human eye.

Answer 2

Now What is light?

-Light ( or light energy ) is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation and a type of kinetic energy.

-Light is made up of photons. Photons is the basic unit of light. They are produced when an object's atom is subjected to heat. The more the atoms are heated, the more photons are created.

-Light travels in the form of a wave but it does not require any medium for transmission.

-Light travels so fast, nothing is faster than it. It travels at a constant speed of 186,282 miles/sec ( 300,000 km/sec ) in vacuum and whether the source is moving or stationary.

-Light can be measured in either joules, calories ( energy units ), quanta and einsteins ( quantum units ). Conversion from one unit to another heavily depends on wavelength.

Now an unaided human eye can only see the visible light, namely red, orange, yellow green, blue, indigo and violet (Roy G Biv) but light also comes in other forms that we cannot see, they are named, radio wave, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma ray.
