Question

IS LIGHT A GOOD CONDUCTOR OR BAD OF HEAT N ELECTRICITY???????/

Answer 1

light is not a conductor

Answer 2

then what it is ,it means it is bad conductor!!!

Answer 3

No it is neither. For example, you don't say plastic is a good or a bad conductor. Ypu say it is a non-conductor

Answer 4

Thats what i was trying to say, great job rajathsbhat

Answer 5

hey,plastic is bad conductor don't get confused

Answer 6

No, its not.

Answer 7

Generally, the valence electrons in the atoms of the molecules in plastic hang out in Fermi energy levels lower than the energy bands that an electron would have to occupy to support conduction. The electrons are bound to parent atoms, and they also may have some mobility within the molecular matrix of the material, but any energy applied (like voltage) doesn't really get the attention of these electrons. They chill in energy levels too low to be jerked up into the conduction band with any fair amount of applied voltage. And if the electrons are not in or cannot easily reach the conduction band (an energy level high enough to support current flow), the material won't support conduction and is said to be a bad conductor.

Answer 8

yes , that i want to say that u have copy paste a answer why plastic is bad conductor so now u get it

Answer 9

but what about light??today we have generallised evrything as good,bad or semi conductor then what about light we know light is particle as well as wave then what to say about its conductivity

Answer 10

is light can be used as conductor ??,,,,,never ,,,,,,,,,,,,its just a stream of photon it can't be taken under conductor or bad conductor

Answer 11

but when we can generate current from light then why not we can consider it as conductor!!!!

Answer 12

its one form of energy conversion to other (light to electricity) understand,,,,, for eg:could u call mechanical force as electricity , u questioning in such a way only.........how could u call light =electricity but we can convert one to one form

Answer 13

@suresh006 Light is a form of energy.you can't make it to conduct!
This is like asking if heat is a good conductor of electricity?????
Do you get it?

Answer 14

can heat radiation can conduct?????????

Answer 15

@sugadev_lee no.that was my point.heat radiation cannot.similarly light cannot.

Answer 16

if heat on metal conductor or semiconductor materials make materials to conduct more electricity there only heat depends ,,,,,,,,,,,,

Answer 17

eg: semiconductors conducts more electricity while temp increases ,it also act as insulator while temp decreases

Answer 18

@sugadev_lee what are you trying to say? i don't get

Answer 19

light may be dependent like heat it is not a conductor tats it,,,,,,

Answer 20

A material to be qualified as a conductor or not has mandatorily to be a medium. Then only we can say whether it is a conductor or not. Light is not a medium. It s a form of energy being propagated in packets of photons with the velocity 3*10^8 m/s. It can be asked about a material whether it is transparent to light or not.
