Yes, plants can use an artificial source of light. For example tubelight, it is a source of electricity, which is a source of light. The light emitted from the tubelight reaches the plant in place of sunlight, which helps the plant synthesize and helps the plant in photosynthesis.

Most artificial light sources (fluorescent and incandescent) do not provide the full visible light spectrum that is required by plants for optimal growth, this results in plants that are tall and spindly (etiolated) and sometimes discolored.

Can plants use light as sun?
Sure. In fact, if you place a plant under an artificial light source, it will lean toward the light source as if it were the sun.
Plants grow faster with artificial light or no light?
plants need light to survive, it is how they feed themselves, whether it be sunlight, moonlight, or artificial.
What is main source of light for photosynthesis?
the sunlight is the most common form of light used for photosynthesis. however, other artificial lights can be used for certain plants.
Can Plants grow using artificial light?
no
Is an electric light bulb a natural or artificial source of light?
yes
What is an artificial source of light that does not need electricity?
A lamp
Do plants grow under artificial light?
yes
What is main source of energy for plants?
The main source for plants is the light
Can artificial light also be used by plants in photosynthesis?
Plants use photons of light, any light, to do photosynthesis, so yes. Ever heard of grow lights?
Do plants grow better with sunlight or artificial light?
Sunlight because the artificial light doesn't allow the plant to photosynthesize better.
What is the difference between natural light and artificial light?
Natural light is light made by things in the nature (animals, plants etc.), and the sun. Artificial light is human made light.
Would plants still be green if there was no sun?
If there were no Sun, and no other source of radiant energy, the plants (and the entire planet) would quickly freeze. And since the color of an object is determined by the color of the light that is reflected by the object, with no light there would be no color, and everything would be black. If we grow plants under artificial light on a space station, then the light on the space station (even if artificial) would be the same kinds of light that we humans prefer, so the plants on the space station would continue to be green.
