nebula
An object that produces its own heat and light energy is called a "self-luminous object." This term is often used to describe things like stars or artificial sources of light that generate their own energy.
A light bulb is a luminous object because it produces its own light through the process of converting electrical energy into light energy. An illuminated object is one that reflects light from another source.
The sun is an example of an object that produces its own light through nuclear fusion in its core.
Objects can reflect light, absorb light, transmit light, or emit light. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the object's surface, absorption happens when the object takes in light energy, transmission is when light passes through the object, and emission is when the object produces its own light.
An object that produces no light is called a non-luminous object. These objects do not emit any visible light of their own but may reflect or transmit light from other sources.
When an object is radiating light, it means that the object produces light. When an object is reflecting light, it means that light "bounces off" the surface of that object.
When an object absorbs light energy the object can get warmer.
In the photoelectric effect, light produces electrons when it strikes a material surface. The energy of the incident light is transferred to the electrons, causing them to be ejected from the material.
A lamp typically produces light energy by converting electric energy into light through the use of a light bulb or LED.
Friction.
When a light wave is absorbed by an object, the absorbed light energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy within the object.
A light bulb uses electrical energy, and produces light, as well as heat.
