Question

lesson 25 - different forms of energy
why is visible light considered kinetic energy?
light is made of particles
light is made of particles that dont move
light is made of particles that are in constant motion
light is made of particles that store energy

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Visible light is made of photons (particles of light). These photons are in constant motion. So, the fact that light is made of particles in constant motion makes it a form of kinetic energy. The option "light is made of particles" is too vague as it doesn't mention motion. The option "light is made of particles that don't move" is incorrect as light - related particles (photons) do move. The option "light is made of particles that store energy" refers more to potential energy concepts rather than kinetic energy.

Answer:

light is made of particles that are in constant motion
