What is the difference between a primary and a secondary source of light, and can you give an example of each?

Answer (2)

A primary source of light is an object that emits its own light, such as the Sun or a light bulb. These sources produce light through processes like nuclear fusion (in the case of the Sun) or electrical energy (in the case of a light bulb)A secondary source of light, on the other hand, does not emit its own light but reflects light from a primary source. Examples of secondary sources include the Moon, which reflects sunlight, or a piece of paper that reflects light from a lamp.

Answer:A primary source of light produces light from itself, like the sun or a light bulb. A secondary source of light reflects light from a primary source, such as the moon or a mirror.
