Light produces electrons in the photoelectric effect. When light of sufficient energy (photon energy) shines on a metal surface, it can eject electrons from the surface, creating a flow of current.
When light hits metal, the atoms in the metal absorb the energy from the light. This causes the electrons in the metal to become excited and jump to higher energy levels. The electrons may then re-emit the absorbed energy as light if they return to their original energy levels, a phenomenon known as reflection.
When light hits a metal in the photoelectric effect, it can transfer its energy to the electrons in the metal. If the energy of the light is high enough, it can cause the electrons to be ejected from the metal, creating a flow of electrical current.
When electric currents flow through the metal filament of a light bulb, electric energy is converted to light and heat energy. The filament heats up due to the resistance in the metal, eventually producing light as it emits photons.
When light hits a metal surface in the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected from the metal if the light has sufficient energy (above the threshold frequency). This process demonstrates that light behaves as a particle (photons) with discrete energy levels when interacting with matter.
Heat, which then produces light.

Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, reaching around 3,422 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable for use in high-temperature applications such as incandescent light bulbs and in the aerospace industry.

Chemical energy is produced by the breaking and formation of chemical bonds in molecules during a chemical reaction, such as photosynthesis in plants or metabolism in organisms. This energy is stored in the bonds of molecules and can be released when these bonds are broken.
