Question

Sunlight is a form of energy called _____. electromagnetic energy nuclear energy hydro energy magnetic energy

Answer 1

Sunlight is a form of energy called nuclear energy. Sun creates energy by nucler fission of hydrogen atoms. A process wherein the atom’s nucleus is further divided into two nuclei, that is, fission products, is called nuclear fission. This happens when the nuclei of radioactive elements (e.g. Uranium or Plutonium isotopes) are able to attract neutrons. Because these isotopes’ nuclei are unstable, an addition to their energy causes them to divide into new pieces of neutron. In nuclear reactors, fission occurs when the power plant gathers heat from a steam in a physical process. Nuclear reactors are designed to sustain nuclear chain reactions.  

Answer 2

Answer

Electromagnetic energy

Explanation

Sunlight is a radiation. From the electromagnetic spectrum we have visible light and ultraviolet radiation whose source is the sunlight.

All electromagnetic radiation possess some energy given by E=hf.

Since we have seen that sunlight is in the electromagnet spectrum, it is a form of energy which is electromagnetic.
