Heat is the amount of energy a single atom has, and this energy causes the electrons in an atom to change energy levels. The light is produced when an "excited" electron has gained enough energy to raise to a higher level via heat, and then falls back to a lower energy level, releasing the energy as light. The higher the amount of energy put into an atom via heat, the more intense the light will be due to a higher release of energy.

Does moving charges generate electrical energy which changes into sound light and heat energy?
yes
Where does infrared heat come from?
Infrared lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves that are near to visible light do not generate heat and are used in TV remote controls. Infrared waves that are far from the visible end of the light spectrum are thermal and generate heat. The infrared heat from the sun, a lamp or a radiator is a type of far infrared radiation.
How is electrical energy transformed into light energy in a toaster?
The main purpose of a toaster is to generate heat, not light. A small amount of light may be produced as a by-product, due to the high temperature. The way the heat (and a small amount of light) is produced is simply by using electrical resistors.
How can you generate heat energy?
take a dump! :)
Which device uses heat to produce light?
Light bulbs. The filament in the bulb is heated in order for it to glow and produce light. This can be considered as a conversion of energy where heat energy is being transferred in light energy.
Does the moon have light and heat?
Yes and No. It reflects light from the sun, but emitts none of its own. It does not generate heat.
Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
What type of force is used to light a matchbox?
Friction Force to generate heat
What type of force is used to light matchbox?
Friction Force to generate heat
How do we generate thermal energy?
Thermal energy is simply heat. Light a fire.
Do stars shine because of reflected light?
No, Stars generate light and heat through nuclear fusion. The moon reflects light
What is the percent efficiency of a 60W light bulb that produces 6W of light energy?
If you're using it to generate light, 10 percent efficient. If you're using it to generate heat, 90 percent efficient.
Can you generate temperature from the light intensity of visible and invisible light?
You don't generate temperature. You generate heat. If something should happen to absorb the heat, then you can measure the temperature of that thing and calculate how much heat has been absorbed. When heat travels through space from one place to another, it's traveling in the form of invisible light called 'infrared radiation'. We use that method to move heat, absorb it, and cause a temperature rise every day. It's how we toast bread in a toaster.
Does moving charges generate electrical energy which changes into sound light and heat energy?
yes
Why is light fixture hot?
When electricity runs through the fillament in a light bulb, the electrons move so fast that they generate heat, which also creates light. Light bulbs actually create more heat than light.
What is the difference between fluorescent bulbs and regular light bulbs?
Fluorescent bulbs generate light by using an ionized gas and electrical discharge, whereas regular light bulbs generate light by using heat within the filament contained in the bulb.
