A radiometer is a device with fins that spin when light energy strikes them. A picture of a radiometer is shown at the left. As part of an experiment, a light source was placed 50 centimeters (cm) from a radiometer. The light sources gave off four different-colored lights for 30 seconds (s) each. After each color of light was turned off, the amount of time the fins on the radiometer spun was recorded. The results are shown in the table below. Which color of light provides the greatest amount of light energy according to data in the table?

• red

• blue

• green

• white

• crab

• fish

• manatee

• turtle
