Question

Which is an example of nuclear energy being converted into heat and light energy?

A) the sun
B) a volcano
C) a rocket engine
D) a coal burning power plant

Answer 1

the answer would be the sun because of the intense radioactive fire coming from it, the heat and light travel through space and into earth's atmosphere. thats why your answer would be the sun.

Answer 2

Answer: A) the sun

Explanation: Nuclear energy can be defined as the energy which is present in the core of an atom. The core contains large amounts of energy present in the bonds that hold the nucleus together.

In sun nuclear fusion takes place where two or more atoms combine to form a larger atom, and a huge amount of energy is released in the process.

`_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+ _0^1\textrm{n}+energy`

Rocket engines and a coal burning power plant convert chemical energy stored in the bonds of chemicals to heat and light energy. In volcanoes heat energy of the magma is converted to light energy and the mechanical energy is converted to sound energy.
