What is Radiant light energy?
Radiant light energy refers to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye. This energy is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is responsible for the sensation of sight. It includes all the colors of light that we can perceive.
Are you saying that chemical energy to electrical engery to radiant engery is what takes place when a flashlight is turned on?
I didn't say that... But that is basically a correct description of the energy transformations. Part of the energy also gets wasted, into heat energy (different parts of an electrical circuit have resistance), and infrared radiation, i.e., non-visible light.
Is an aspect of radiant energy of which an observer is visually aware?
Light is the aspect of radiant energy that is visible to observers. It is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can perceive, typically ranging from violet to red wavelengths.
What is a part of a solar panel that absorbs light and converts it into electrical energy?
The photovoltaic (PV) cells are the part of a solar panel that absorb light energy and convert it into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. These cells are typically made of silicon and produce an electric current when exposed to sunlight.
Which form of energy is represented by X-rays?
Radiant. X-rays are radiated from the Sun and are part of radiant energy

When electric flows through the metal filament of a high light bulbs what is electric energy transformed too?
Heat and light. The metal filament heats up to the point of incandescence in the visible part of the spectrum.
What type of energy the a light of a candle?
The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.
Is radiant energy a form of potential energy only?
Neither. It is an electromagnetic radiation, that is one that is part of a whole spectrum or range of radiation of the same basic type, that stretches from long wave radio waves to gamma rays, and includes visible light, microwaves, and x-rays. These all carry energy dependent on the power of the source. Humans react most to the infra red range which is what you feel on your skin in front of a radiant electric fire. Visible light is generally not so powerful and we absorb it in our eyes, but it can be made dangerous as in lasers. Microwave energy is used in cookers where it causes water molecules to vibrate and heat up. Xray and gamma Ray energy is dangerous when more than the safe level, because they cause ionization in the body material which can induce cancer. These are all forms of radiant energy.

Radiant. X-rays are radiated from the Sun and are part of radiant energy
Is ultraviolet light and solar energy the same?
No, ultraviolet (UV) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is part of the sun's energy spectrum. Solar energy refers to the radiant energy emitted by the sun, which includes visible light, infrared radiation, and UV radiation. UV light is just one component of the overall solar energy that reaches the Earth.
How do heat and light propagate?
In matter heat is the vibration (kinetic energy) of atoms or molecules and propagates in matter by means of conduction and convection.Heat is also radiation and part of the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. Thus heat and light are propagated in a vacuum as radiant energy, synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that propagate at the speed of light.
From what part of the sun does the sun produce its energy?
The sun is just a great ball of gas and its the atoms in that gas that fuse and give off its energy(in heat and light).
How are thermal energy and radiant energy similar?
Thermal energy and radiant energy are both forms of energy that can be transferred through the movement of atoms and molecules. Both types of energy can be used to heat objects or spaces, and are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
