True. Light is electromagnetic radiation (which can exist in empty
space). Heat (and sound) is mechanical vibration (which can't exist in
empty space, it needs something to vibrate).

I hope your sound system noise doesn't heat up your room too.


Mechanical vibration will cause heating.

Geeesh. Go back to school you energy dummies. Your eyeballs are all
burned from illumination being converted to heat in your brains.


Light (electromagnetic radiation) will create heat when it contacts
any substance. That's what happens when you go outside on a sunny day.

Which question do you want answered?


The one I asked...

Which produces more heat?..C and E because they don't waste as much
energy producing visible light.


You better think again...

Which answer is correct?...None. Only C and E are the same. The
rest
all waste varying amounts of energy producing visible light.


Nothing is being wasted. The energy is being transferred to the room
no
matter which poroduct you wish to use.

A watt is a watt... there is no getting around that.
