what is light and electricity made up of?

Answer 1

Electricity is made up of moving electrons in a conducting material such as copper or aluminum. You apply a voltage across a wire (a potential) and this causes the flow of electrons to which inturn produces electricity.

Light is a little more abstract. Light can be a particle or a wave, depending on how you "see" it. These photons bounce off an object and hit our eye to give us the perception of the object.

Enstein spend his whole life in studying light, which culiminated in his theory that E=mc^2; where E is energy, m=mass, and c is the speed of light.

Answer 2

Electricity is energy in the form of the flow of electric charge (electrons) through a conductor (typically a metal like copper).

Light, on the other hand, is electromagnetic radiation that is of a frequency that can be seen. Electromagnetic radiation consists of electric and magnetic waves that travel at the speed of light. Examples: light, radio waves, gamma rays, x-rays. Light can travel through a vacuum, air, or transparent medium.

They both travel as waves and also have the properties of particles.

Answer 3

Light is made up of massless chargless energy packets called photons, and electricity is made up of negatively charged very small mass electrons.

Answer 4

light is made up of tiny things called photons... they are so tiny that you can't even see them on the microscope...
on the other hand, electricity is made up[ of electrons that run in some kind of order through a metal... electrons are also very small, but they are much bigger than photons.

Answer 5

electricity is thought to be electrons but that's a loose understanding cause i don't think the electrons actually leave the atom they are connected to, it's like a wave through electrons.

light was also thought to be a wave too, (a wave is not a thing but moves through a thing) but since they want to say nothing is in space they say light is a photon but this too is a bit fuzzy, again just a conceptual understanding.

Answer 6

light
Light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is visible to the eye (visible light) or, in a technical or scientific context, electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength[1]. The elementary particle that defines light is the photon. The three basic dimensions of light (i.e., all electromagnetic radiation) are:

* Intensity (or amplitude), which is related to the human perception of brightness of the light,
* Frequency (or wavelength), perceived by humans as the colour of the light, and
* Polarization (or angle of vibration), which is only weakly perceptible by humans under ordinary circumstances.

Due to the wave-particle duality of matter, light simultaneously exhibits properties of both waves and particles. The precise nature of light is one of the key questions of modern physics.

electricity


Visible electromagnetic radiationElectricity (from Greek ήλεκτρον (electron) "amber") is a general term for the variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge. Together with magnetism, it constitutes the fundamental interaction known as electromagnetism. It includes many well-known physical phenomena such as lightning, electric fields and electric currents, and is put to use in industrial applications such as electronics and electric power.

Concepts in electricity

In casual usage, the term electricity is applied to several related concepts that are better identified by more precise terms:

* Electric potential (often referred to as voltage) - the potential energy per unit charge associated with a static electric field.
* Electric current - a movement or flow of electrically charged particles.
* Electric field - an effect produced by an electric charge that exerts a force on charged objects in its vicinity.
* Electrical energy - the energy made available by the flow of electric charge through an electrical conductor.
* Electric power - the rate at which electric energy is converted to or from another energy form, such as light, heat, or mechanical energy.
* Electric charge - a fundamental conserved property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields.

Answer 7

Light: photons
Electricity: electrons

Answer 8

Both photons. Since both are part of the same electro-magnetic force. Electrons are not the cause of electricity some force has to make them flow, which is the electro-magnetic force whose force distributing particle is the photon.
