What is the root source of Light ?

In summary, the root source of "Light" is the initial state of hot and dense energy in the universe. This energy is responsible for all forms of energy, including light. The theory of light being derived from neutrinos is not mainstream and mostly conjecture.

What is the root source of "Light"?

I'm not talking about converted/transformed energy via external sources, i.e. Electricity or heat transformed to Light.
Whats the root source?
Energy itself?

Welcome to PF!

The universe started with a lot of energy: In the beginning, it was hot and dense. All energy that exists today, including light, is ultimately derived from that initial state.

Thanks a lot. :)

The root source of light is electromagnetic energy. This energy is emitted by particles called photons, which are the fundamental units of light. These photons are generated by various sources such as the sun, stars, and artificial light sources like light bulbs. The energy for these photons can come from a variety of sources, including electricity, heat, or chemical reactions. Ultimately, the root source of light is the conversion of one form of energy into electromagnetic energy.
 

What is light?

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye.

What is the source of light?

The root source of light is energy. Light can be produced from a variety of sources, such as the sun, fire, electricity, and certain chemical reactions.

How does light travel?

Light travels in a straight line and at a constant speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. This is known as the speed of light.

What is the relationship between light and matter?

Light and matter are closely related, as light is made up of tiny particles called photons and matter is made up of atoms, which are composed of even smaller particles. Light can interact with matter in various ways, such as being absorbed, reflected, or refracted.

Can light be created or destroyed?

Light cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed. For example, when an object is heated, it emits light in the form of heat and electromagnetic radiation. Similarly, when light is absorbed by an object, it is converted into other forms of energy.
