Energy from light is included in electromagnetic radiation. When an object's atoms heat up, photons are the particles that are produced.It's a type of kinetic energy that allows different types of lights to be seen in human sight.Uses of light energy:
It is used in solar panels to derive the energy of the sun to perform domestic functions. It aids in the production of food and the growth of plants.It is utilized in satellites and space stations to provide electricity.It is found in a lot of technological gadgets.

A science student is riding on a flat car roof train that is traveling at a constant speed of 10 mph on a straight horizontal track. The student throws a ball into the air along a path that he just made to make an initial angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal and to be in line with the track that the student's professor, who is standing nearby, observes the ball rising. How high does the ball rise vertically?

The house is losing heat to the outside air through the walls and windows at a rate of 40 MJ/J, while energy generated within the house from the people, lights and appliances amount to 6000kJ/h. For a COP of 2.4, find the power input to the heat pump
