why do our muscles shake when electricity touches us but not when light touches us. If it isnt energy that makes our muscles shake what is it?
In: Physics
Animal cells don’t have any machinery that can convert light to any usable form, unlike “electricity” (in the form of action potentials).
It’s like asking why solar panels don’t generate an electric current when you shake them. Mechanical energy and electromagnetic radiation might both be forms of energy, but solar panels are only built to be able to convert one of them to electricity.
