Question

a solar panel converts --------------------------- energy into --------------------------- energy. electromagnetic → electrical; mechanical → em; mechanical → electrical; chemical → thermal

Explanation:

Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight (which is electromagnetic energy, specifically in the form of photons) and converting it into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. So the correct energy conversion for a solar panel is electromagnetic energy to electrical energy. The other options (mechanical to EM, mechanical to electrical, chemical to thermal) do not represent the energy conversion of a solar panel.

Answer:

A. Electromagnetic → Electrical
