What is Radiant light energy?
This is part of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum, visible light occupies a small part of this spectrum, but all wavelengths have the same physical properties
Which form of energy is represented by X-rays?
Radiant. X-rays are radiated from the Sun and are part of radiant energy
What form of energy is in a candle?
The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.
Is there physics in a candle?
Yes, part of physics is studying the transfer of energy from one form to another. Within the candle is chemical potential energy (think about how the candle has to burn in scented candles), when a fire source comes near enough to the candle the chemical potential energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat energy) and radiant energy (visible light energy)
Are you saying that chemical energy to electrical engery to radiant engery is what takes place when a flashlight is turned on?
I didn't say that... But that is basically a correct description of the energy transformations. Part of the energy also gets wasted, into heat energy (different parts of an electrical circuit have resistance), and infrared radiation, i.e., non-visible light.

When electric flows through the metal filament of a high light bulbs what is electric energy transformed too?
Heat and light. The metal filament heats up to the point of incandescence in the visible part of the spectrum.
What type of energy the a light of a candle?
The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.
Is radiant energy a form of potential energy only?
Neither. It is an electromagnetic radiation, that is one that is part of a whole spectrum or range of radiation of the same basic type, that stretches from long wave radio waves to gamma rays, and includes visible light, microwaves, and x-rays. These all carry energy dependent on the power of the source. Humans react most to the infra red range which is what you feel on your skin in front of a radiant electric fire. Visible light is generally not so powerful and we absorb it in our eyes, but it can be made dangerous as in lasers. Microwave energy is used in cookers where it causes water molecules to vibrate and heat up. Xray and gamma Ray energy is dangerous when more than the safe level, because they cause ionization in the body material which can induce cancer. These are all forms of radiant energy.

From what part of the sun does the sun produce its energy?
The sun is just a great ball of gas and its the atoms in that gas that fuse and give off its energy(in heat and light).
How do heat and light propagate?
In matter heat is the vibration (kinetic energy) of atoms or molecules and propagates in matter by means of conduction and convection.Heat is also radiation and part of the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. Thus heat and light are propagated in a vacuum as radiant energy, synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that propagate at the speed of light.
What is the radiant energy that acts upon the retina?
Electromagnetic radiation in the visible part of the spectrum, red to violet
What two types of energy does the sun produce?
Light Energy and Solar Energy are all a part produced by the sun.
