No, electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge. Light, on the other hand, consists of photons which are massless particles that carry energy and electromagnetic force.
When light strikes a metal, it transfers energy to the electrons in the metal, causing them to be ejected in a process known as photoelectric effect. These ejected electrons are called photoelectrons and can be used in applications such as photovoltaic cells and photoemission spectroscopy. The energy of the ejected electrons is proportional to the frequency of the incident light.
Electrons flow from the negative terminal of the power source, through the wires of the circuit, into the light bulb. Within the light bulb, the electrons pass through the filament, creating heat and light as a result of resistance. Finally, the electrons exit the light bulb and return to the positive terminal of the power source to complete the circuit.
When light hits certain substances, the energy from the light can be absorbed by electrons in the material, causing them to become excited and move to a higher energy level. This movement of electrons generates an electrical current, a phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect.
While a light bulb does not technically act as a resistor, in practice it does impede the flow of electrons due to its resistance. As electrons pass through the filament of the light bulb, they encounter resistance, which causes them to release energy in the form of heat and light. This phenomenon is what allows the light bulb to produce light.
When ultraviolet light is incident upon glass, the electrons within atoms in the glass absorb the energy from the light. This absorbed energy can cause the electrons to move to a higher energy state, leading to the emission of light in the form of fluorescence or phosphorescence.
Electrons do not carry light. Light is an electromagnetic wave or a photon.
None, light is composed of photons. Light may be emitted or absorbed when electrons undergo transitions between atomic or molecular orbitals, but the light itself does not contain electrons.
No, electrons moving through space are not called light. Light is electromagnetic radiation that is made up of photons, while electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles found in atoms. Moving electrons can produce light when they transition between energy levels in an atom, but they are not the same as light itself.
The wavelength of electrons is about 10,000 times shorter than the wavelength of visible light. This means that electrons are not visible in white light as their wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum.
When light strikes a metal, it transfers energy to the electrons in the metal, causing them to be ejected in a process known as photoelectric effect. These ejected electrons are called photoelectrons and can be used in applications such as photovoltaic cells and photoemission spectroscopy. The energy of the ejected electrons is proportional to the frequency of the incident light.
Yes. When electrons go from a higher energy orbital to a lower one, they release photons (ie: light).
The light is absorbed by the chlorophyll. The light is then used to excite electrons.
No; light is photons.

the electrons found in the chloroplast becomes excited.
Yes, bright blue light will eject more electrons than dim light of the same frequency because the intensity of the light directly affects the number of electrons ejected in the photoelectric effect. Higher intensity light will provide more energy to the electrons, leading to more ejections.
