Can radio antennas emit visible light? Category: Physics Published: October 2, 2015 By: Christopher S. Baird, author of The Top 50 Science Questions with Surprising Answers and Associate Professor of Physics at West Texas A&M University The laser is the most practical visible-light equivalent of a radio antenna. Public Domain Image, source: Christopher S. Baird. Yes, radio antennas can emit visible light, but probably not in the way that you're thinking. If you pump enough energy into a radio antenna, you can heat it up until it glows and emits visible light through the process of thermal radi
