 Light which is made by objects									« »
 Made

We can release energy in the form of light using many different energy sources . We can use electrical energy, as in a light bulb where an electric current heats a wire until it glows. We can harness chemical energy by running a chemical reaction, as in the burning of a log. We can see thermal energy converted into light, as in an erupting volcano. Every body at a high enough temperature will give off light.
