Question

Is radiant energy different or like other forms of energy?

Answer 1

It is different!

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiant energy is a form of electromagnetic energy. It can take the form of visible waves which is what we call light energy or invisible waves such as radio waves or x-rays. As the charges that cause the energy are moving, electrical energy is a form of kinetic energy. Radiant energy moves in a straight line at a very high speed and can be absorbed, transmitted or reflected. Radiant energy is reflected if the object receiving the energy cannot absorb it.
