Both. Photoelectric cells work off light, and thermal collectors depend on heat.
Solar power primarily comes from sunlight, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that includes both heat and light. Solar panels can convert this sunlight into electricity by absorbing the light component of the radiation and converting it into electrical energy.
Solar power is primarily generated from sunlight, rather than heat. Photovoltaic (PV) cells in solar panels convert sunlight into electricity by capturing the energy from the sunlight's photons. While some solar technologies utilize heat from the sun to generate power through concentrated solar power systems, the most common form of solar power is generated through the conversion of light into electricity.
yes it called solar power
Solar power is a source that comes from the Sun and it can be used to light and heat things for example houses, calculators and many more.
Yes. Most cells work best at red and infrared light frequencies. Only very new and costly cells are full spectrum users.
The term for heat and light radiated from the sun is solar energy.
Solar power is collected by solar panels, and stored in currents
Lamps are generally rated as to how much Power is consumed. If they were rated so that both lamps EMIT the same amount of power in their own area of the light spectrum; then NO the energy would be equal.It depends on How you are measuring the energy emitted by both lamps.A heat lamp will warm an object more than black light simply because a heat lamp generated light in the spectrum that is designed to warm an object (thermal) while the Black Light (ultraviolet) emits photons in a different part of the spectrum, one that does not efficiently heat up objects.
solar energy. heat from the sun gives you heat and changes to light because heat can be used for light.
The bursts of heat and light energy extending from the surface of the Sun are known as solar flares. These explosive events occur when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is released, resulting in intense radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Solar flares can impact space weather, affecting satellite operations and communication on Earth. They are often associated with sunspots and other solar activity.
It Doesn't!!! Light sources sometimes emit heat as Infra Red radiation which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, like visible light, but you can't see it. It Doesn't!!! Light sources sometimes emit heat as Infra Red radiation which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, like visible light, but you can't see it. Light = Energy = Heat = Can make light?
The sun is the source of light and heat in our solar system. It is a star located at the center of the solar system, and its energy is essential for sustaining life on Earth.
