You must distinguish here between the "input" and the "output" energy. The input energy is often electrical energy, but it can also be chemical energy stored in some derivative of petroleum, for example, such as kerosene. That depends on the type of lamp. The intended output energy, of course, is light, but all lamps produce smaller or larger amounts of heat energy, and in some cases, some noise (sound energy).

What kind of energy is used when turn on a light bulb is called?

Electricity is the type of energy that is used when you turn on a light bulb. When you leave a room, you use more energy by leaving the light on than if you turn it off and back on when you return.


When you turn on a lamp electric energy changes to what kind of energy?

When you turn on a lamp, electric energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electric current flowing through the lamp's filament generates heat, which in turn produces light.


Why is there a need for Energy Transformation?

Well, if you have electricity, and you want light, then you need to turn electricity into light, which is one kind of energy transformation. If you have chemical energy as in gasoline and wants to go somewhere, you need to turn chemical energy into kinetic energy, and maybe some potential energy as well to get anywhere.


What are the steps to trsnsfer energy when you turn on a light?

When you turn on a light, electrical energy from the power source is transferred through the wires to the light bulb. The electrical energy is then converted into light energy and heat energy by the filament in the bulb, illuminating the surroundings.


What energy transformation occurs when you turn on a flashlight?

When you turn on a flashlight, electrical energy from the battery is converted into light energy and a small amount of heat energy by the light bulb.


What energy transformation takes place when you turn on an electric light?

When you turn on an electric light, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and heat energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb, which emits light energy that illuminates the surroundings, while a portion of the electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy due to resistance in the light bulb filament.


What kind of energy is found in photon?

light energy


Who has the ability to turn light energy into chemical energy?

Plants have the ability to turn light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves capturing light energy with chlorophyll and converting it into glucose, which is used as energy for the plant's growth and survival.


What kind of energy can form a light?

light is formed of what


When you turn on a lamp what energy does it convert to?

When you turn on a lamp, electrical energy from the power source is converted into light energy and heat energy by the light bulb. The electrical energy flows through the wires, powering the filament in the bulb which then emits light.


If energy is not created or destroyed what happens to the light and heat of the flashlight?

energy cannot be created. Instead it changes forms of energy. the energy of a battery is chemical energy. the chemical energy from the battery changes to to electric energy when you turn it on. Then it changes again into heat and light energy. That energy will go on and change into some other kind of energy and so on forever.


What is the wrong kind of light for solar energy?

Any light energy that does not originate from the sun is not solar energy
