If the question is referencing the phenomena of light rays contacting certain metals, then the photoelectric effect can be applied. The photoelectric effect, described by Albert Einstein as part of his Nobel Prize, notes that a photon strikes certain metal solids and excites and releases an electron from the metal. Hope thats what you're looking for or if that's even correct! haha :)

What is the general term that refers to either visible or invisible radiant energy?
Light
What do you mean by Radiant energy?
Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The quantity of radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiant flux (or power) with respect to time and, like all forms of energy, its SI unit is the joule. The term is used particularly when radiation is emitted by a source into the surrounding environment. Radiant energy may be visible or invisible to the human eye.
What are characteristics of energy?
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves
What happens to the particles in an object when it absorbs radiant energy?
Tempautre Increases
Type of radiant energy is invisible to humans?
-- radio -- heat -- infrared -- ultraviolet -- microwave -- X-rays -- gamma rays -- cosmic rays

What is the difference Between Light energy and Radiant Energy?
Light is light. Radiant is Radiant.
Is radiant energy sustainable?
Radiant energy is sustainable because we can handle it ex.we can handle the light from radiant energy.
The pupil of your eye is a net absorber of radiant energy a net emitter of radiant energy neither a net absorber or emitter of radiant energy?
A net absorber of radiant energy.
