Comet will not deform as it will be completely vaporised.
After impact of Shumeicker-Levi comet with Jupiter large waves in its atmosphere were observed. So some part of the energy will definitely go into mechanical pressure changes. But I don’t think that most part as a cloud of gas after impact will be extremely hot and will radiate very strong.
I suspect that the higher is speed of the impact, the bigger part of it will go into radiation.
And as the Sun photospere is saturated with radiation energy, it will radiate any excessive energy.
Vaporising a comet takes significant energy. Heating up a comet to vaporization point takes significant energy. Dissipating the vaporized comet (still the same total mass and momentum as when it was in a solid state) takes significant energy. I really find this simplistic a treatment to be not useful. Still an interesting thought-experiment and a little scary.
It has enormous energy at its free fall speed of 600 km at sec. It is 10-20 times quicker than speed of meteor collision with earth and so provide 100 or more time energy for any kg of impacting material.
Вut the main problem for “big bang” here is that atmosphere of the Sun is very thin on its photosphere level, so most of the comet will go intact under it (if it will not break into many smaller pieces before impact which is possible because of string tidal forces, evaporation etc—in with case the flash will be much more visible.)
Wouldn’t most of the energy go into mechanical deformation of the comet and the sun, rather than EM radiation?
