Why is light a source of energy?
a. It excites an electron within a pigment molecule, which then serves as a source of light energy that can be used for work.
b. It excites an electron within a pigment molecule, which then serves as a source of heat energy that can be used for work.
c. It excites an electron within a pigment molecule, which then serves as a source of potential energy that can be used for work.
d. It excites an electron within a pigment molecule, which then serves as a source of kinetic energy that can be used for work.
Answer: c. It excites an electron within a pigment molecule, which then serves as a source of potential energy that can be used for work.
