Is it possible for a toaster to convert light energy to heat energy if not what energy would it convert?

A toaster takes in electricity from some power source, then it uses this electricity to heat coils within the toaster. The coils get very hot, and emit heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light). The bread/bagel/sock that you put into the toaster absorbs this radiation and gets hot.

Into what kinds of energy does a toaster convert electrical energy?
Mostly heat, and a little bit of light. A lot like an incandescent light bulb.
What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?
Inside a toaster, electrical energy is converted to heat (and a little bit of light) energy.
In a toaster what kind of energy is used?
The inside of a toaster includes electrical energy (what runs the toaster), radiant/light energy (the light coming off of the coils), and thermal/heat energy (what cooks the food in the toaster).
Why are wires with high resistance used in light and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
What are the transfers in a toaster?
the energy transfer in a toaster is electrical to heat (and light if the elements are glowing)
Why are wires with high resistance used in light bulbs and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
Why are light consider as a form of energy?
It is possible to convert other types of energy into light, and light into other types of energy; therefore it makes sense to consider that light, too, has an energy content.
If you use a toaster to make toast the toaster converts electrical energy into solar energy and heat energy heat energy only heat energy and light energy or light energy only?
It doesn't matter what you use the toaster for, or whether you are using it at all.When it's ON, it converts electrical energy into both heat and light, whether or notthere is any bread in it.
What kind of energy does the toaster give out?
heat, and some light
Toaster turns from what energy to what?
A toaster turns electrical energy to heat and light energy by running the current through wires that begin to glow and release heat. ~Numos
What are the energy transformations in a toaster?
First, a toaster uses electrical energy. Then, it uses this electrical energy and the mechanical energy of you pushing on the lever to produce thermal energy, or heat, and sound as the object in the toaster pops up.
What reactions convert light energy to chemical energy?
The light dependent reactions take in the light energy and convert that to chemical energy, but it is in the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions) where the chemical energy is stored in a complex sugar.
