What else can I help you with?
Why so some things EMIT light and others only REFLECT it?
Things emit light when they produce their own light source, like the sun emitting light due to nuclear fusion. Things reflect light when they do not have their own light source but instead bounce off and scatter light that hits their surface, like a mirror reflecting sunlight.
A list of thing that make light?
The sun, light bulbs, fire, stars, and glow sticks emit light.
Does every light source emit only one type of light, or can some light sources emit multiple types of light?
Some light sources can emit multiple types of light, such as white light sources that emit a combination of different colors.
Do light bulbs emit radiation, and if so, what type of radiation do they emit?
Yes, light bulbs emit radiation in the form of visible light.
What do light bulbs emit to produce light?
Light bulbs emit electromagnetic radiation, specifically visible light, to produce light.
What things emit and what things Reflect?
Things that emit include light bulbs, the sun, and fire, which release energy in the form of light and heat. Things that reflect include mirrors, glass windows, and shiny surfaces, which bounce light off them without absorbing it.
What things gives us light?
These are the things give us light: the sun, candles, fireworks, lightning, torches, lighthouse, Aurora Borealis, stars

Do light bulbs emit light or suck dark?
Light bulbs emit light.
Do light bulbs emit light or suck in dark?
bulbs emit light
Does technetium emit light?
Technetium doesn't emit light.
Why white light emit light?
Light doesn't emit light, but other things do, like stars for example. Many things give off light, but white light is the only visible light, and is made up of many different colors, like a rainbow. The sun and other stars emit such light.
What are the things that can give light?
Various things can emit light, such as light bulbs, candles, the sun, stars, and fireflies. Other sources of light include smartphone screens, flashlights, and street lamps.
How does the earth emit light?
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
What are bioluminous objects?
Things that shine - emit light - through biological processes. Fireflies etc
Does every light source emit only one type of light, or can some light sources emit multiple types of light?
Some light sources can emit multiple types of light, such as white light sources that emit a combination of different colors.
