No. That's one of the things that makes fireflies an object of interest in chemical research.

How is light connected to heat?

Because, if it wasn't for heat, there would be no light at all. The sun is blazing hot and gives off light. Our light bulbs require heat to produce light. Many other things.


What gives out light without heat?

Fireflies are remarkable in that they produce light without also producing heat. All of their energy resources are used very efficiently to make light energy without wasting heat energy.


Does light carry heat?

Yes it could. Haven't you ever noticed that when you keep your lamp on for a long time and you touch it, it is very hot. This is because inside the bulb there is a metal called tungsten (I am not sure if this is the correct spelling). When you heat up that metal to a certain point it starts glowing. Therefore light doesn't exactly produce heat but light produces heat depending on situation. that's it


Objects that produce heat and light?

Light bulbs convert energy to light. This conversion is inefficient, meaning that not all of the energy will convert to light because of the design of the bulb and the laws of physics. The energy that does not become light is released as heat, and that's why a light bulb gets hot.


How is radiation made?

Radiation can come from many sources but all sources that produce radiation do so because of an abundance of energy that they possess. If you want to produce radiation light a candle. The only energy you will need to do this is a lighted match. When you light the candle wick it burns wax from the candle. This wax is stored energy that you have released as radiation in the form of light. I hope this answer is not too trite. gravity guru.

no


What wave are often used in heat lamps radiators or fire?

All these sources produce infrared waves, which we experience as heat.


Are all heat sources light sources?

No.Ligtning is not a heat source.Unless u think that the electric of the lightning have heat.<<Previous answer:Yes.Fire is a heat source and a light source. If you were meaning light bulbs, then yes again. The electric current flowing through the filament (excuse spellings) causes the wire to glow (creating the light) and generate heat. This is caused by the resistance in the wire. Even tiny little leds generate heat and light. I may be wrong here.... but I dont think any light source does not generate heat of some kind. Heat is light radiation in the near and far infra-red range. You can have light sources that generate very very very little infra-red light, for example flourenscent lights produce light in the visible range almost exculsively BUT yes all light sources do produce some heat as an unavoidable energy loss.>> Lightning is a heat source. It is electricity rapidly flowing through a column of ionized air. Thunder is the shock wave it generates in the atmosphere. Think of the crackling noise a static filled blanket makes. Move it in the dark and you can see the static letting go - like lightning in miniature.

Do a chemical reaction produce heat and light?

Chemical reactions can produce heat and energy but not all chemical reactions produce them. Exothermic reactions produce heat and energy (possibly in the form of photons/light), while endothermic reaction absorb them.


What has a form of energy that can produce heat light magnetism and electrical charges?

if you mean to have commas between heat, light, magnetism, and electrical charges then there is none. if heat light magnetism is all one thing then you're on your own.

Can Light Be Produced Without Heat?

Light and heat are the same stuff; electromagnetic energy. The difference is in the wavelength of the energy; heat has longer wavelengths than light. (It's all one broad spectrum from radio to heat to light to x-rays to gamma rays to cosmic rays; all electromagnetic energy.


Is all of the electricity used to light a light bulb useful light?
