almost everything has chemical, potential, and kinetic energy (the exeption being forms of energy itself). light is debated to have chemical, but it does have potential and kinetic energy. kinetic energy is motion and heat caused by brishing past things. light has that quality.

Light is a form of energy, but it is not considered a form of potential energy. Light energy is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through space and is typically associated with photons moving at the speed of light.
yes potential energy is a type of energy that is "hidden" so as far as i know, no light is not a potential energy.
No. Kinetic energy is actually the movement of something, like a ball rolling down a hill. Light energy is... well light is light, like from the sun or from a light bulb.
The abbreviation for potential energy is PE.
No, a light switch is not potential energy by itself. It is a device that controls the flow of electricity to a light bulb, converting electrical energy into light energy when turned on.
Yes, an unlit firecracker has potential energy because it contains chemical potential energy stored within its materials. When ignited, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the form of heat, sound, and light.
As an electron moves through a light bulb, its potential energy changes due to interactions with the electric field. This change in potential energy is converted into light and heat energy, which powers the light bulb.
Yes, the energy stored in a lump of coal is considered potential energy. When the coal is burned, this potential energy is transformed into heat and light energy.
