Which of the following sources of energy is dependent on the radiant energy of the sun?

Only the wind is dependent on the radiant energy from the sun.  Wind is caused by uneven heating on the Earth's surface.  That heating is caused by the Sun.\n\nFossils fuels need air to burn and are from the ground\nHydroelectricity is from flowing water--depends on gravity.\n"All of these" can't be a choice if at least one can be eliminated from the list <-- a multiple choice test rule!\n\nThis is probably a test question.  The operative word in this question is "dependent".  Take it from a retired New York State Regents Earth Science teacher.

heat radiation is possible in a vacuum, thats how the suns energy reaches us

Light IS energy...sorry I can only think of one...:(

A photon, which is a quanta of evergy below which you cannot go-this is the smallest, and only, particle which carries radiant energy.  The photon is the energetic equivalent of the quark in matter.

- The Sun is so large, you could fit over one million Earths inside it.\n- The Sun consumes four million tons of hydrogen every second. Even so, it's so vast that our star has enough fuel to keep it shining for another five billion years.\n- The Sun's energy output is estimated to be 386 billion, billion megawatts. So in 15 minutes our Sun radiates as much energy as mankind consumes in all forms, during an entire year.\n\n- The sun is fascinating ! :)

Ok you need a bowl of water and the sun. The energy is trapped (at least temporarily) in the water, as heat.

Most life on Earth is powered by the Sun. Plants use Photosynthesis to make carbohydrates from the Sun. Animals eat Plants, we eat both plants and animals that eat plants. Therefore indirectly virtually all of our food energy comes from the Sun. Our Brain uses our food energy to operate. Therefore our brain is powered by the Sun.

This question could be interpretted two different ways: (1) What drives the sun to produce heat/enegery? and (2) Describe the process of using the solar energy to power modern conventions.\n\nSomebody else already attempted the latter, so I'll go for #1.\n\nThe sun, right now, is fusing hydrogen into helium to produce its energy.  It's been doing this for a long time, and will continue to do so until it runs out of hydrogen.  When this happens, it'll start fusing the helium, and so on.\n\nHope this helps.

The source of energy is food. Food is digested, giving you energy.

In Photosynthesis, plants use the sun's energy as light to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose.  In cellular respiration,  glucose is ultimately broken down to yield carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from this process is stored as ATP molecules.

Radiant energy is typically heat, which is infra-red light. Not sure what you mean by 'found'. You could detect a source through the infra-red light spectrum or feeling the heat comming off the radiant source (like a radiator).

Plants use solar energy to make their food by photosynthesis. They store the sun's energy in the form of carbohydrates.\n\nSolar cells work on fuel cells where they convert the sun's light energy to chemical energy which is to be changed into electrical energy at a future date.

The energy from the sun comes from nuclear fussion: the combining of 2 Hydrogen atoms to make Helium and energy.\nWhen the sun will lose it's fuel (in about 5 Billion years), it will turn into a red giant star.

electromagnetic energy (light) is converted to chemical energy, or rather chemical potential energy.

A steam engine.  Please, the  1800s are over.  Have you heard of solar power and/or wind power?

a. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.

Yes. Radiant energy strikes the matter surface it repel electrons from the matter and it release heat energy.
