Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light’s formal name is electromagnetic radiation. All light shares three properties. It can travel through a vacuum. It always moves at a constant speed, known as the speed of light, which is 300, 000, 000 meters (186, 000 miles) per second in a vacuum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kinetic Energy – This is the energy of the light due to its motion. Note that because a photon has no mass, its kinetic energy equals its total energy. The energy of light allows it to create a gravitational field according to General Relativity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Visible light– Can only be seen through the naked eye. Infrared light– is also a form of electromagnetic energy that produces heat. X-rays and Ultraviolet light– These are short light waves used by doctors to capture images within our bodies and spot fractures in our bones. More items
