Question

What energy conversion occurs when a solar panel uses light to provide power to a house? (2 points) Select one: a. Electrical energy is converted to solar energy. b. Nuclear energy is converted to solar energy. c. Radiant energy is converted to electrical energy. d. Thermal energy is converted to electrical energy.

Answer 1

The correct option is C.

Solar panels are devices that are used to trap energy from sunlight; the energy trapped are used to generate electrical power. Solar energy is a form of radiant energy. When solar panels are used to provide power, then solar energy [radiant energy] is been converted to electrical energy.

Answer 2

The answer for the question given above would be option C. The energy conversion that occurs when a solar panel uses light to provide power to a house is radiant energy that is converted to electrical energy. Radiant energy is the same with light energy. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
