Heat and light are both forms of energy, so yes. If you divide the energy by the speed of light in a vacuum squared (all in the appropriate units), you will obtain the value for the mass-equivalent of that energy.

Why does heat and light doesn't have mass?
No rest mass - because they're energy.
What form of energy is in a candle?
The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.
How heat is produced in nuclear reactor?
The nuclear fission results in mass loss (called mass defect) that transforms into energy according to the formula: E = mc2 (c is light velocity). This energy manifests itself as heat energy.
Who discovered that light has mass?
Light does not have mass. It is a form of energy.
Is light a translucent material?
Light is not a material. Material things have mass and light has no mass.
Heat and light have mass?
Yes ! Because the heat and light are occupying space and they are matter
Do heat and light have mass and occupies space?
No and no.
Why does heat and light doesn't have mass?
No rest mass - because they're energy.
Do light and heat have mass?
In so far as E = mc², yes For most practical, every day purposes though, we do not consider energy (such as light and heat) to have mass. If you weigh an object before and after heating it up, you won't be able to measure a change in its mass (unless the heat causes it to undergo some chemical reaction changing its composition). Note: We do know that light can exert pressure so it behaves like mass impacting an object. Generally the pressure exerted by light is too small to be detected under everyday circumstances but over long periods of time or from very intense sources it can be measured.
What caused the sun to give off heat and light?
The sun converts hydrogen into helium in the core of the sun. This neuclear reaction of four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom creates heat and light (kinetic energy) as result of the loss of mass (1 helium atom has less mass than 4 hydrogen atoms and the loss of mass is the heat and light)Plasma fusion
What are some examples of mass in science?
Light, heat, energy, emotions. All are massless.
What process causes the sun to give off light and heat?
The sun converts hydrogen into helium in the core of the sun. This neuclear reaction of four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom creates heat and light (kinetic energy) as result of the loss of mass (1 helium atom has less mass than 4 hydrogen atoms and the loss of mass is the heat and light)Plasma fusion
Does the sun give us light?
the sun does give off light,heat,gravity,water cycle, mass, life,and vital vitamins
Why are light and heat not matter?
Heat & temperature is a property of matter... and not matter. Photons are unique as they are essentially a packet of energy, but without mass. And, not having mass, they are not considered matter. (Note: it used to be common to refer to the relativistic mass-equivalent of an object's kinetic energy as it's "mass", and disinguish it's invariant mass as rest mass. That terminology was still current when I studied relativity, and there are certainly still books on the shelves that use it. Light and heat do have mass in that sense. But that terminology was confusing, and nowadays it is fashionable among physicists to refer to the old "relativistic mass" as "energy" and to the old "rest mass" as "mass". Light and heat have zero rest mass.) Essentially, "matter" is the stuff that material objects are made of. Heat is merely the random motion of the parts, and light is not among the parts of material stuff either. Note- when broken down enough matter is comprised of particles similiar to photons(no Mass, specific function, kinda in between energy and matter) it would not truly be a stretch to consider matter as some form of energy.

How do you find specific heat capacity of solid?
Take a small light beaker and fill half of it with the water mass
Can fire be dense?
Fire is a combination of heat and light energy emitted by a chemical reaction, and as such it has no mass and therefore no density.
