Our eyes do not respond to heat waves, which is why we cannot see them.

Light waves, on the other hand, are detected by our eyes and this makes us see.

When you light a candle enegy is changed to heat and energy?

Typically, chemical potential energy is converted into heat and light. When atoms light energy. It is this energy that you see released when the candle burns.


Is heat light and electricity forms of energy?

Yes, heat, light, and electricity are all forms of energy. Heat energy is the result of the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance, light energy is electromagnetic radiation that we can see, and electricity is a form of energy resulting from the movement of electrons.


How is light energy used in your lives?

light is used in our lives for heat,to see, and more


What type of energye is given off by a flashlight as light and heat?

A flashlight gives off both light energy in the form of visible light and heat energy, typically in the form of infrared radiation. The light energy allows us to see in the dark, while the heat energy is a result of the energy lost in the conversion process from electrical energy to light energy.


What is source light?

A light source is a form of energy produced by heat.


What type of energy does a light bulb give off?

It makes thermal energy (the heat), radiant energy (what we see), which is in essence more or less the same manifestation.


Which two types of energy is produce when a light is turn on?

The two types of energy produced when a light is turned on are light energy and heat energy. Light energy allows us to see the illuminated space, while heat energy is a byproduct of the light-producing process.


Is a Bunsen burner flame is easy to see when it is yellow or blue?

It is easier to see when it is yellow. It produces more heat energy and less light energy when it is blue. The yellow flame produces more light energy than heat energy. That makes it more visible


What are the 4 ways be see energy?

Energy can be observed in the forms of light, heat, motion, and sound.


Which type of energy is it when we feel heat from the sun?

Radiant energy (light) - the heat you feel is "infra red" radiation. Your eyes can not see this wavelength of light but there are sensors (thermal sensors) in your skin that can feel it.


Why is heat energy the only way that energy can get to the Earth from the Sun?

Heat energy is not the only type of energy that can get to the earth from the sun.... light energy can too.So heat energy is NOT the only way that energy can get to the Earth from the Sun.Another opinion"Heat" and "light" are actually two variants of electromagnetic wave energy.Radiated heat is actually the common everyday name for "infra-red light", which simply means that the wavelengths of energy radiated as heat are much longer than the range of wavelengths of light which our eyes can actually "see".Another way of explaining this is to say that heat and light are different parts of the whole wide spectrum of electromagnetic wave radiation.Further noteUltra-violet light has wavelengths which are shorter than the wavelengths of visible light which our eyes can "see".


Is electric energy converted to heat energy or light energy?

Yes, electrical energy can be changed into thermal (heat) energy. Light is electromagnetic energy, and electricity can be changed into light energy. We know that a resistance heater changes electrical energy into thermal energy. An electric range does this, as does an electric space heater. We see electrical energy changed into light in fluorescent lights.
