What is light(radiant) energy?

• Energy that is created in the movement of particles. Energy increases as light increases. The more particles, the greater the light energy.

• The total amount of motion and position of an object.

• Energy created by vibrating particles that create waves that travel through space and time. Light energy can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.

• Energy created by paused particles that create waves that travel through space and time. Light energy can be deflected or absorbed.
