almost everything has chemical, potential, and kinetic energy (the exeption being forms of energy itself). light is debated to have chemical, but it does have potential and kinetic energy. kinetic energy is motion and heat caused by brishing past things. light has that quality.

yes potential energy is a type of energy that is "hidden" so as far as i know, no light is not a potential energy.

No. Kinetic energy is actually the movement of something, like a ball rolling down a hill. Light energy is... well light is light, like from the sun or from a light bulb.

No. Light (electromagnetic radiation) is very different from heat energy (which is the random motion of atoms and molecules). Not the same thing.

Is light kinetic or potential?

good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy


What is the abbreviation for potential energy?

light


What is the difference between potential energy and light energy?

They are two completely different things. Light energy is electromagnetic waves. (EM). Potential energy is the energy stored within matter.


Is potential energy what a light uses?

NopeNo, potential energy would be, for instance, a spring that is compressed. It could cause motion if released. It is stored energy. The light bulb uses electrical energy, which it converts to light and heat energy. potential energy is like when you wind up a torch or a radio

An unlit firecracker does it have potential energy?

Yes. Chemical potential energy. When you light it most (nothing is 100% efficient) of the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


Energy exists in two states what are they?

Energy exists in many more than two states, but two are light energy and heat energy.

What are the energy transformations that occur in a candle?

In a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and heat energy.


Which type of energy conversion takes place when a light bulb is turned on. Electromagnetic into potential- Thermal to potential- potential to electric energy- electric to light?

The answer should be pretty obvious. Just try to think about this. What energy is used? What does the light-bulb produce? In this case, the light-bulb requires electricity, and it produces both heat and light, so electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy.


Why energy stored in green plants is classified as potential energy?

The energy stored in plants is classified as potential energy because they convert light energy into chemical potential energy stored in glucose.
