electromagnetic energy is the other name for light energy.
Radiant energy is also widely used, though electromagnetic is the most scientific term.

What are two main forms of energy given off when paper burns?
heat and light and it comes from the reaction of the paper material and its combustion in the air.
What two energy transformations happen when you rub two sticks together and fire is started?
When you rub the sticks together, you convert kinetic energy (from moving the sticks) to internal energy, or heat energy - the sticks will warm up. When the heat energy is sufficient to overcome the activation energy of the combustion (activation energy = minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction), the chemical energy in the sticks/whatever you are combusting is converted to heat and light energy
Where is the majority of the nuclear energy that lands on Earth produced?
The Sun and other stars make heat & light by nuclear reactions. Nuclear energy is produced two different ways: In one, large nuclei are split to release energy. In the other method, small nuclei are combined to release energy.
How does an atom in a liquid transfer heat?
Heat does not exist at the level of atoms, at the level of the atom its kinetic energy; which is only observed as heat at the macroscopic/bulk level.Atoms with more kinetic energy bounce harder against other atoms, transferring more kinetic energy to those atoms. This has two effects at the macroscopic/bulk level, where heat is observed:direct transfer of kinetic energy results in diffusion of heat, called conductionkinetic energy pushes the atoms further apart causing a reduction in density, enabling a process called convectionif the liquid is accelerating or in a gravitational field
The transfer of heat from one thing to another by direct physical contact?
Conduction is the transfer of heat throgh solid objects in direct contact. The other two types of heat transfer are convection (through liquids and gases) and radiation (through gases and a vacuum).
What are two other names for heat energy?
Thermal Energy or Infrared Radiation
What two names are given to the sun 's energy?
nuclear fusion
What type of energy can not converted to another type?
Heat. In fact you can convert part of the heat into other types of energy, only if there is a heat difference between two objects - but you can never convert all heat into other types of energy.
What type of energy can not be converted to another type?
Heat. In fact you can convert part of the heat into other types of energy, only if there is a heat difference between two objects - but you can never convert all heat into other types of 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.
Why doesn't the body use the heat available to it as a source of energy?
You can't just convert any type of energy into any other type of energy. Heat energy is "low-quality" energy; machines built by humans can only convert part of it to other forms of energy, and only if there is a heat DIFFERENCE between two places. Any energy converted to heat is lost, in a way. The energy is still there, but it can't be used.
What is the major way in which heat energy is spread through the atmosphere?
One way that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere is through radiation. Conduction and convection are two other ways that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere.
Can haet energy be turned into electric energy?
No, at least, not all of it. If there is a difference in temperature between two objects, part of the heat can be converted into other forms of energy.
What two forms of energy does a lightbulb produce?
Main type is light energy. Also some heat is produced
What two types of energy is fire?
heat and light energy
What are two types of energy that come from the sun?
heat and energy
What are the names of two kinds of stored energy?
Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy
