The heat and the light in stars is the same thermal nuclear fission that our Sun (a star) produces.

Actually, heat is a form of light (infrared). They are both the same thing, according to the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

Low heat light bulbs produce less light but save on energy costs true or false?

False. Low heat light bulbs can produce the same amount of light, and also save on energy.

What type of energy does a light bulb give off?

It makes thermal energy (the heat), radiant energy (what we see), which is in essence more or less the same manifestation.


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 light the same as electricity?

Electricity is not the same as electric light. Electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. As electrons travel through the filament of a light bulb the resistance of the filament opposes the flow of current, which creates heat. The filament will heat up so much that it produces a visible light.


What happens when heat hits a solid?

The same with when a light hits a solid; the energy either gets reflected or absorbed. If light hits a dark colored solid, most of the light will be absorbed, and the black object will get warm.If light hits a light-colored solid, most of the light will be reflected, and the white object will stay cool.By the way, the same thing happens to both heat and light, because heat is a form of light; heat is also called infrared light.Further answerIt does depend somewhat on what form this heat is in. If it's radiation then the answer above is fine. But if it's in the form of say, hot air, then there won't be any reflection, just conduction of the heat from the air to the solid.
