From the Sun. Also from other stars, and from distant galaxies - but we only get significant amounts of energy from our Sun.

What is it called when energy transfers through space by visible light ultraviolet radiation and other forms of electromagnetic waves?

Radiation


What is the emission of energy in the forms of waves?

The emission of energy in the form of waves is called radiation. This can include electromagnetic waves like light, as well as other forms of energy such as heat or sound waves. Radiation is how energy is transmitted through space.


Which forms of energy can be directly observed?

Forms of energy that can be directly observed include light energy (visible light and other electromagnetic radiation), sound energy (audible sound vibrations), and thermal energy (heat). These forms of energy can be perceived by our senses without the need for specialized equipment.


What is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy?

A photon is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy. It is the fundamental unit of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


Does anything in this world not have mass?

Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation do not have mass, but they do have energy and momentum.


Form of energy also known as light energy?

Electromagnetic radiation is the form of energy commonly known as light energy. It includes visible light, as well as other forms of radiation such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What are visible light and other waves of energy forms of?

In what form does radiant energy travel?

Radiant energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves include visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


How is light and Radiation connected?

Light is a form of radiation. Radiation is an emanation of energy from a body, that can pass through a vacuum unaffected. it travels in a straight line, and is only slightly affected by gravity. A black hole obviously will, with its massive gravity well, affect all forms of light and radiation. Heat, light particles (photons) and radiation particles (alpha, beta, and gamma) are all forms of radiation, among other more exotic forms.


What is energy from light called?

Energy from light is called electromagnetic energy, or more specifically, radiant energy. This type of energy is carried by electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


Is space a medium for the transmission of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation?

Yes, space is a medium through which light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can travel.


What Light and other forms if electromagnetic radiation are given off by stars using energy released during?

Stars emit various forms of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation, by using the energy released during nuclear fusion in their cores. This energy is produced through the fusion of hydrogen into helium, resulting in the emission of light and other electromagnetic waves.
