light may be produced from an object by simple heating. This glow is not characteristic of any particular element.

When a chemical element is heated to a great degree, then the electrons will be forced into higher orbits than those which they usually occupy. When the chemical element cools, the electrons will emit the energy they absorbed, and will emit a light which is quite specific to the particular element. This is the method by which we can determine which chemical elements are in a distant star.

Incidentally, the timeline of the Big Bang suggests that the universe remained dark until the matter cooled enough to condense into atoms then eventually, the first stars. This may have been as late as 150 million years to 1 billion years after the Big Bang. In those early years the only radiation may have been the 21cm hydrogen line.

When energy goes into an atom is light produced?

When energy is absorbed by an atom, the electrons in the atom can jump to higher energy levels. When they return to their original positions, they release the extra energy in the form of light. This is how light is produced in an atom.

What produces light and sound energy?

Light energy is produced by sources such as the Sun, light bulbs, and fire. Sound energy is produced by vibrations in objects or substances, such as vocal cords, musical instruments, and speakers.


When we switch on the light electrical energy is converted into light energy. But when we switch off the light the produced light disappears. In which energy the produced light energy is converted to?

The produced disappears whether you switch it off or not - otherwise it would get brighter and brighter. In a closed room, the light would eventually be absorbed, and converted to heat. Outdoors, the light may go into outer space, going on and on and on... at a very high speed known as the "speed of light". In general, bet on heat. Light turns into heat.


What form of energy is produced when you use the candle?

When you light a candle, it burns the wax. That is chemical energy. The thermal energy is produced as the lighted wick continue to burn the wax. It also gives out light as it burns.
