Many objects give off light; take the sun for example. The sun is basically a constant explosive chemical reaction on a grand scale. Actual elements (mostly helium and hydrogen) are being fused and split in a continuous, highly energetic cycle known as nuclear fusion; where hydrogen nuclei are fused together to create helium, which is then burned and converted back into hydrogen. Light is emitted every time this process occurs for each atom. The energy lost by the atoms takes the form of a quasi-wave particle or photon-quantum. This photon is essentially light. Together, many of these wave-particles (of varying wavelengths) will become visible light, while others will inhabit the non-visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Planets and other objects in our solar system are visible to the naked eye only because they reflect the light of the sun into our eyes.
What else can I help you with?
A object that gives off its own light is a what object?
Luminescent. If is a biological process, it is called bioluminescence.
What object gives off light?
The sun is a natural object that emits light in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Artificially, light bulbs and LED lights are examples of objects that produce light.
Does an luminous object cast a shadow?
because there is no light for it to reflect off
Does the sun reflect light or gives off light?
The sun gives off light through a process called nuclear fusion in its core. This light then travels through space and reaches Earth, where some of it is reflected off surfaces like clouds, water, and sand.
Which layer of the sun gives off heat and light?
The photosphere gives off heat and visible light.
An object that gives off its own light?
A star
A object that gives off its own light is a what object?
Luminescent. If is a biological process, it is called bioluminescence.
What are two ways that an object gives of light?
A torch emits light from the bulb. A mirror gives off light by reflection.
What is an object that gives off its own light is said to be?
Natural
What is an object that gives off its own light is said to be what?
Natural
How does an object give of light?
If an object gives off light, it is a luminous object.The luminous object gives off its energy and we see it. If you shine light on an object, it is an illuminated object, it just reflects the light back into your eyes.
What is the name of a wire that gives off light?
A filament.
What is the name of the amount of light a star gives off?
The amount of light a star gives off is the intensity or luminosity. Absolute Magnitude measures the amount of light given off.
What happens to the light when it hits a green object?
When light hits a green object, the object absorbs all the colors in the light spectrum except for green. Green is reflected off the object, which is why we perceive it as green. This reflection is what gives the object its color.
What object gives off light?
The sun is a natural object that emits light in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Artificially, light bulbs and LED lights are examples of objects that produce light.
How do you humans see?
light relflects off of the object you are looking at and your retna gives it color as your brain flips the object right-side up
What object in the solar system gives off its own heat and light?
The sun. All other objects reflect heat and light from the sun.
