no, solar energy is energy from the sun, which comes to earth in the form of radiation, wheras UV lighting comes from an electrical source.

Is solar light and sunlight the same thing?

Solar light is basically mean the light we get from sun may be sunlight or its derivatives i.e light we get from solar energy. Sun light is the solar light we get from sun. But solar light is generally more understood as light we get from solar cell by people.


Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?

Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.


What are some examples of Energy Conversion?

Examples of energy conversion include converting solar energy into electricity through solar panels, converting chemical energy in food into mechanical energy in the body during physical activity, and converting electrical energy into light energy in a light bulb.


Why are fabrics that fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet light so bright in sunlight?

Fabrics that fluoresce under ultraviolet light absorb the UV energy and re-emit it as visible light, which gives them a bright appearance in sunlight. This is because the sunlight contains UV light that can excite the fluorescence in the fabric, causing it to emit light in the visible spectrum.


Why fossil and solar energy the same?

Fossil energy and solar energy are not the same. Fossil energy comes from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, which release greenhouse gases when burned. Solar energy, on the other hand, comes from harnessing sunlight using photovoltaic cells or solar thermal systems. Solar energy is renewable and does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, unlike fossil fuels.

Is lamplight the same as sunlight?

Kinda. The sun's energy is called solar energy. Pretty much the same as light energy, but solar energy's MAIN purpose is also to heat.

What non-living thing has the same function as a chloroplast?

Possibly a solar energy panel could be considered as having the same function as a chloroplast, in that it captures light energy and converts it into mechanical or chemical energy.


Does solar lights use more energy than the electric lights?

NO,they use the same amount of energy as any other light; But they do not use any POTENTIAL ENERGY.


Is Geothermal the same as Solar. If it is not the same then what is Geothermal?

Geothermal energy is not the same as solar energy- geothermal refers to heat generated by the earth, not the sun.


Sodium is irradiated for 2 seconds with infrared light and no electrons are ejected The same metal is irradiated for 2 seconds with ultraviolet light and thousands of electrons are emitted?

The first case with infrared light did not produce any electrons because the energy of infrared light is too low to overcome the binding energy of sodium electrons. However, in the second case with ultraviolet light, the energy was high enough to overcome the binding energy of the electrons and eject them from the sodium atoms, resulting in the emission of thousands of electrons.


Do ultraviolet waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum?

Ultraviolet and visible light waves all travel at the same speed whenever they're all traveling through the same material.


How are ultraviolet infrared and visible light the same?

All of them are electromagnetic waves.

What type of energy comes directly from the sun?

Electromagnetic radiation from the Sun reaches the Earth in terawatt quantities. Electromagnetic radiation varies by frequency or wavelength from "radio" to "microwave" to "infrared" to "light" to "ultraviolet" to "x-rays" to "gamma rays". It's all the same stuff; just different flavors.
