light bulb. Incandescent: Filament in an environment absent of oxygen, glows white hot when electricity passes through it producing light. Fluorescent: electrode "excites" Mercury vapor which produces U.V. rays. U.V. rays hit a phosphorus coating on the inside surface of the bulb. The phosphorus coating adsorbs the U.V. ray and remits it as visible light. Light Emitting Diode or LED : Silicon crystal emits light when electricity passes through the diode in a certain direction. Organic Light Emitting Diode or OLED: Instead of a silicon crystal an organic-compound in used. Note: fire could be considered an answer.

Photosynthesis


What reactions convert light energy to chemical energy?

The light dependent reactions take in the light energy and convert that to chemical energy, but it is in the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions) where the chemical energy is stored in a complex sugar.


The primary source of a quasar's energy is chemical energy nuclear energy gravitational potential energy?

The primary source of a quasar's energy is gravitational potential energy. Quasars are powered by the immense gravitational forces surrounding supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, which convert this potential energy into light and other forms of radiation.


Is potential energy what a light bulb uses?

NopeNo, potential energy would be, for instance, a spring that is compressed. It could cause motion if released. It is stored energy. The light bulb uses electrical energy, which it converts to light and heat energy. potential energy is like when you wind up a torch or a radio


What bonds do chloroplasts transform the radiant energy into chemical potential energy?

Chloroplasts convert radiant energy from sunlight into chemical potential energy primarily through the process of photosynthesis. During this process, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and used to split water molecules, releasing oxygen and forming ATP and NADPH. These energy-rich molecules store energy in the form of chemical bonds, which are subsequently used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Thus, chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical potential energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.

How does a battery convert energy?

The two sides, the anode and the cathode contain opposite charges. The difference between the charges determines the potential of the battery. The potential can be described as stored energy, called electric potential energy. When the anode and cathode are connected by a circuit, the difference between the charges diminishes, which means this stored energy is being lost somehow. Different loads can harness this energy and convert it to another. Electric motors use magnetic fields induced by the electric current, which means that the electric potential energy is being converted into magnetic potential energy, which is immediately converted into kinetic energy, while incandescent light bulbs use electrical resistance of a filament to convert the electric potential, into a combination of infrared and visible light energy.


Why are light reactions required for the photosynthetic process?

Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy. The energy of light captured by pigment molecules, called chlorophylls, in chloroplasts is used to generate high-energy electrons with great reducing potential.
