What is the relationship between light and heat
Answers
Answer:
Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy.
Explanation:
Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.
Both are energy in different forms. Light energy is seen by our eyes, light energy liberate electrons from photocell and laser light can melt or burn materials. Shorter wave length ( 400 to 800 nano meter) electromagnetic wave is light.
Heat energy is felt by our skin or touching. It vibrates the atoms in solids and liquids and it increases the random movement of atoms in gasses . It is also an electromagnetic wave of longer wave length ( 1000 to 2000 nanometers).
