Document.querySelector() - Web APIs | MDN[^]
EventTarget.addEventListener() - Web APIs | MDN[^]

However, since you're attaching an event listener to a single element, it would be simpler to add an id to that element, and use getElementById instead of querySelector.

For example:

HTML

<button id="onButton" type="button">Turn on the light</button>

JavaScript

document.getElementById("on").addEventListener("click", function(){
    document.getElementById("myImage").src = "pic_bulbon.gif";
});
