light bulb. Incandescent: Filament in an environment absent of oxygen, glows white hot when electricity passes through it producing light. Fluorescent: electrode "excites" Mercury vapor which produces U.V. rays. U.V. rays hit a phosphorus coating on the inside surface of the bulb. The phosphorus coating adsorbs the U.V. ray and remits it as visible light. Light Emitting Diode or LED : Silicon crystal emits light when electricity passes through the diode in a certain direction. Organic Light Emitting Diode or OLED: Instead of a silicon crystal an organic-compound in used. Note: fire could be considered an answer.

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.
Plant chloroplasts convert the energy of sunlight into what?
Chloroplasts convert sunlight into potential energy. The energy is then converted into the chemical energy in the glucose molecules.
What energy does visible light have?
Typical light bulbs convert electrical energy into light and heat energy. The light (visible, IR and some UV) radiates away. Some we can see. The bulb heats up. This heat energy is radiated away and -- if it's not in a vacuum -- the heat is also carried away by convection.
Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
What type of energy does light energy convert into?
chemical energy
Why energy stored in green plants is classified as potential energy?
The energy stored in plants is classified as potential energy because they convert light energy into chemical potential energy stored in glucose.
Do cell phones have potential energy?
Yes. If you drop them, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy.
What does kinetic energy convert to?
It converts to potential energy.
Can you convert potential energy to electrical energy?
Yes.
Why do you convert energy?
That's because you need it in specific forms, either to transport it, or to actually use it. As an example, a hydraulic energy plant uses mechanical energy (potential energy in the water); this is converted to electrical energy, transported to our homes, and then converted to light in a light bulb (among many other uses!). In this example, we have no direct use of the potential energy as such; the energy is converted to electrical energy which is easy to transport, and easy to convert to other forms of energy - such as light in this case.
Why are light reactions required for the photosynthetic process?
Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy. The energy of light captured by pigment molecules, called chlorophylls, in chloroplasts is used to generate high-energy electrons with great reducing potential.
How do you convert nuclear energy to potential energy?
You could for instance convert the nuclear energy to mechanical or electrical energy and use it to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it will have potential energy.
How does a battery convert energy?
The two sides, the anode and the cathode contain opposite charges. The difference between the charges determines the potential of the battery. The potential can be described as stored energy, called electric potential energy. When the anode and cathode are connected by a circuit, the difference between the charges diminishes, which means this stored energy is being lost somehow. Different loads can harness this energy and convert it to another. Electric motors use magnetic fields induced by the electric current, which means that the electric potential energy is being converted into magnetic potential energy, which is immediately converted into kinetic energy, while incandescent light bulbs use electrical resistance of a filament to convert the electric potential, into a combination of infrared and visible light energy.
What energy does your body energy convert?
Your body could could convert chemical energy into potential, kinetic, or mechanical energy.
Is anything that lifted off the ground has potential energy?
True. It has "potential energy", in that gravity could be used to convert that "potential" energy into actual kinetic energy.
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.
How does a Xerox machine convert light energy into sound energy?
Xerox machines do not convert light energy into sound.
