Light can be considered as a small packet of energy (a quantum) called a "photon" carried along a wave or ripple in space-time, rather like a beach ball carried along in the trough of a wave across a body of water. A more detailed explanation requires an understanding of quantum mechanics.

What is the term given to heat and light radiated from the sun?
Solar Energy
What is elctromagnetic energy?
Energy that is radiated in a wave such as radio waves, white light, uv light and xray.
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is rediated from a source is what?
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is the lumen. The lumen is symbolized as lm.
What is the unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source?
The lumen is the unit used to measure the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source. The lumen represents the international standard unit of luminous flux that is based on the candela.
What form of energy is heat produced by filament?
Heat energy. When it is radiated off from the filament, it is mainly infrared light.
Does a star hold light?
No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.
How Is Light Energy Radiated From The Sun?
It is radiated from electromagnetic waves.
what happened to the baby that radiated light that was introduced in the 1st episode in my hero academia?
The baby that radiated light was baby All Might.
Is heat the only form of energy that is radiated?
No, heat is not the only form of energy that is radiated. there is also light along with other energies.. Yes, it it the only form of energy that is radiated.
What makes a star visable?
The light, radiated by the star is absorbed by our eyes.

What characteristics do scientists measure to determine the temperature and composition of stars?
the light radiated from the stars
What does radiating or reflecting light mean?
Light is radiated from the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Radiation is a "shining out" from whatever is making the light. When we see the Moon we are seeing it because the Sun has radiated light out into space and some of it has lit up the Moon, which then reflects the moonlight to Earth. Light is reflected best by smooth and shiny materials such as plain glass or mirror glass.
Light bulbs how does running electricity through the bulb create light?
The electricity runs through a coil of Tungsten. Tungsten has a very high resistance. As per Joule's Law, energy radiated is directly proportional to resistance. The energy radiated is so large that the coil starts to glow and light is produced.
