  1. It's hydrogen plasma [ hydrogen + ions] That is hydrogen without its electrons Interestingly photosynthesis works in a very similar way with electromagnetic oscillations [light 430nm & 662nm] exciting electrons to split water using ATP as a catalyst. (Hydrogen +ions recombine with CO2 in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose) Oxygen is released and source of all oxygen we breathe Microwave ovens cook food by exciting water molecules An H2O molecule moves in an electric field because its oxygen atom attracts its electrons more than its two hydrogen atoms, giving one side a negative charge and the other a positive charge.

  2. It's all kinetic energy! Light /radio waves are oscillations / vibrations in magnetic field. "Waves" are just a graph +-+- an antenna with a vertical alternating current makes horizontal oscillations in the magnetic field. Electrons in this sun are excited (spin fast) causing electromagnetic frequency in the PAR range at this end photosynthesis involves electromagnetic Vibrations exciting electrons to the extent that water can be split into hydrogen ions and oxygen released. That converting the kinetic energy into chemical energy
