Light is a source of energy because light is energy.
When photons (energy packets) of light strike certain products -- such as the silicon in solar panels, or chlorophyll in plants -- they transfer that energy by causing an electrical or electrochemical reaction.
In the case of solar energy, they excite the electrons in the silicon and cause a current to flow. In plants, it triggers photosynthesis, the process of combining CO2 into sugars such as sucrose; this happens because the light photons energize the chlorophyll molecules into releasing electrons, starting the chemical process.
What else can I help you with?
Is a light bulb an energy source?
No.it uses energy sources (electrical energy to light up
Is a light bulb a source?
No.it uses energy sources (electrical energy to light up
What kind of energy is in a torch?
A torch typically uses chemical energy stored in a battery or fuel cell to produce electrical energy for the light source, which then converts it to light energy.
What energy source does a light bulb use?
A light bulb uses electricity as its source of energy.A light bulb to uses electrical energy which is supplied to a resistor that gives off heat as well as light. The resistor is a thin coiled piece of wire made of Tungsten because it has the highest melting point of any metal.For more information see the answer to the Related question shown below.
What type of energy does the compound microscope use?
A compound microscope typically uses light energy, specifically visible light, to illuminate the sample being observed. This light passes through the lenses of the microscope to magnify and visualize the specimen.

What bacteriochlorophylls and uses alcohols for carbon?
Answer: A Photoheterotroph Feedback: *Energy source: -Phototroph: uses light -Chemotroph: uses redox reactions from an organic or inorganic compound *Carbon source: -Autotroph: uses CO2 -Heterotroph: uses an organic source of carbon
Is a source of light energy?
A fire is a source of light energy.

A phototroph is to a chemotroph as?
A phototroph is to a chemotroph as an organism that uses light as an energy source is to an organism that uses chemicals as an energy source. Both types of organisms acquire energy in different ways to carry out cellular processes like growth and reproduction.
What is the main source of energy for producer?
The only source of energy for producers is the sun. Chloroplast captures the suns light then uses carbon dioxide light energy (from the sun) and water to preforms a process called photosynthesis. The bi products of photosyntheses are glucose/ATP(energy) and oxygen.
What items use heat energy.?
Cooking uses heat energy as the main source. It is the main activity that uses heat as a source of energy.
