What type of energy is beam of sunlight?

Answer 1

Light is the visible part of that strange spectrum called electromagnetic radiation. Beam and ray may not be particularly good words to describe it. Light does some things that make it seem to be made of particles, and light does some other things that suggest it is wave-like, and not made of particles. Light particles, photons, have zero mass (not just a tiny bit of mass-- they have no mass whatsoever). That only adds to the mystery. Wave may be a better word, but it doesn't capture light completely. We will probably never stop learning about its nature.It is thermal energy.

Answer 2

First of all: A 'BEAM' is not a measure for light quantity.

However a beam of light consists of many, many photons(light 'particle) of different wavelength's. In general the energy of a photon is equal to h.v or h.c/lambda.

h= planck's constant (6.626*10-34 J.s)

v= frequency (s-1) (average about 10+15 s-1)

c= absolute velocity of light (2.998*10+8 m.s-1)

lambda = wavelenght of light (average about 5*10-7 m)

Answer 3

A sunlight beam is a beam of photons that carries electromagnetic energy in the amount of hv, where h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of the sunlight beam. The specific frequencies of sunlight fall into the UV (ultra violet), visible, and IR (infrared) range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Answer 4

Sunlight is a form of radiant energy, known as solar energy, that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It contains a mixture of different wavelengths, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation.
