Lots of differences. For example: light is a flow of electrically neutral particles (called photons), that move at the speed of light (at least, in a vacuum). Electricity is a flow of charged particles - often electrons - that move at speeds below the speed of 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.
What is the different between energy saving light bulbs and original light bulbs?
The difference between the two bulbs is that energy saving bulbs have murcuary in them which lowers the amount of electricity they require and consume.
What is the relationship between the intensity and energy of light?
The relationship between the intensity and energy of light is that the intensity of light is directly proportional to its energy. This means that as the intensity of light increases, so does its energy.
How is sound and light different?
It is different because sound vibrates and light reflects
Which energy changes light energy into electrical energy?
Different light bulbs, lamps, flashlights, LEDs.
What is the difference between the energy of ultra violet light and the energy visible light?
Ultraviolet light has a greater energy per photon.
What do the different colors in a light spectrum represent?
Different energy radiations reflecting different energy level changes.
How light energy different from other energy?
It can travel through a vacuum.
How are light and heat different?
Heat is the movement of particles. When a substance (let's use air in this example) "heats up", the individual particles are actually gaining kinetic energy. That's why there is a direct correlation between heat and pressure. Light, on the other hand, is made up of "packets" of energy called photons.
When the light bulb is lit elactrical energy will be converted into two different forms of energy what are these two forms of energy?
Light and heat
Why do the atoms of different elements give off different frequencies?
Atoms of different elements emit different frequencies of light due to their unique electron configurations. When electrons absorb energy, they can jump to higher energy levels; when they return to their original levels, they release energy in the form of light. The specific energy differences between these levels vary for different elements, leading to the emission of distinct frequencies or wavelengths of light, which correspond to their characteristic spectra. This phenomenon is the basis for techniques like atomic spectroscopy, allowing for element identification.
Why do different atoms produce different colors of light?
Atoms consist of neutrons, protons and electrons. The electrons form 'clouds' around the nuclei of atoms, and in general the nuclei consist of protons and neutrons. The electrons in the outer clouds have more energy than those in the inner clouds. When an electron 'falls' to a lower cloud it a packet of energy is released which might consist of light. Since the energy levels between the clouds vary between atoms the energies released when an electron falls vary from atom to atom. Frequency is equivalent to energy level, and frequency of light is equivalent to colour on the light spectrum.
