Not quite sure of your parsing, but solar cells on the roof seem to convert some light into electricity.

How are eyesight and light related?

Our eyes are our sense organ for detecting light. Their colour range is somewhat limited, being about one half of an octave. When we say we 'see something', or 'are looking at something', in reality we are merely receiving light from that object. We use separate sensors for brightness, and for colour. For colour we have three different colour sensors, which overlap in their bandwidth. Thus we perceive a broad range of colour. In dim light, our colour sensors are not active. Your eyes are an extension of your brain (whose whole surface is light sensitive), and each eye sends part of its output to both hemispheres of the brain. Many herbivores and carnivores have little use for colour, and waste no brain power on it. Some insects and butterflies can see a much wider range of colours that humans do.


Why do you use windmills if you have dam?

People use a lot of electricity, and often need to obtain it from many different sources in order to get enough. It is also true that windmills have other uses than the generation of electricity, and they were in use centuries before electricity came into use. You can mill grain without electricity, by connecting millstones to an axle, which is turned by the wind.


What are two ways we use energy and how are they different?

Two ways we use energy are for electricity generation and transportation. Electricity generation involves converting energy into electricity for various applications, while transportation involves using energy to power vehicles for movement from one place to another. The main difference is the end use of the energy, with electricity for powering devices and transportation for moving people or goods.


Does the use of electricity energy damage the environment?

The generation of electricity can have environmental impacts, depending on the source of the electricity. Fossil fuel-based power plants produce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind have lower environmental impacts. Conserving energy and using it efficiently can help reduce the environmental damage associated with electricity generation.
