Plant take in the sun's energy by absorbing?

Plants absorb sunlight energy through a process called photosynthesis, which involves capturing light with chlorophyll in their leaves to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) for energy. This energy is then used by the plant for growth, metabolism, and reproduction.


Does all energy released take the form of electromagnetic waves of one sort or another at a micro-level before mainfesting on a macro-level?

Barring direct transfer of different types of energy such as from kinetic to potential, there are other ways for energy to be released in the form of particles. According to the Standard Model of Atomic Structure, these particles are called leptons. This includes the photons which pervade in electromagnetic waves, as well as the graviton, higgs boson, and W and Z +/- bosons. So to answer your question in simple terms, no.


Is light a form of heat?

Sort of. Light is a wave and is therefor made of photons, photons have very high energy, and when they come in contect with something, their energy can no longer take the form of kinetic energy, and is most often changed into heat energy, so i suppose the technical answer would be no.


What are two types of energy that travel in waves?

Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.


How is light energy transformed?

they take the waves of energy from light and run the waves though a energy transporter then therefor you have energy

Is it possible to convert heat energy to electrical energy directly?

I am just speculating ok. Heat energy can take the form of radiation of electromagnetic waves. there is a well known phenomenon called the photoelectric effect, which means that by concentrating radiation at a specific frequency on a certain element the photons kicks the free electrons out the element causing it to shine due to the released electrons. this could be a way of converting heat energy directly to electrical energy.


Which has more energy a radio photon or a X-ray photon?

The highest energy photons are all found at the "top" of the electromagnetic spectrum. That's the end populated by photons with the shortest wavelengths (and, therefore, the shortest periods) and the highest frequencies. These photons, these extremely energetic electromagnetic waves, are generated within the nuclei of atoms and released during nuclear events. Subatomic particles actually generate the photons as they go through changes. Stars (most of them) can produce photons in these energies continuously, or in bursts. We frequently refer to photons of extreme energies as gamma rays. We can stimulate nuclei to generate these high energy photons in the nuclear physics laboratory, and it's usually done with some sort of nuclear accelerator. We take protons - or whole atomic nuclei - and speed them up to near light speed and slam these nuclear bullets into targets (or other particles). Photons of the highest energies are produced. As one can imagine, shielding for containment is a big concern, as these energetic photons will punch through steel, concrete and earth. Some links are provided.

What was the initial time period from sun to earth?

Light energy in the form of photons, which travel at the speed of Light [298,000 km/sec] take eight minutes to travel from Sol to Earth. Is this the Answer that you are looking for?


What causes the emission of radiant energy?

What causes the emission of radiant energy?Well radiant energy's definition is the movement of photons. So in conclusion i would say kinetic energy cause radiant energy.


What are the energy waves produced in a microwave oven?

In a microwave oven, radiofrequency electromagnetic waves are produced. These waves cause the water molecules in food to vibrate, generating heat through friction and cooking the food from the inside out.
