Kinetic/Potential Energy
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.
Photosynthesis or Solar powered Calculator
What is photosynthesis?
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is sound energy?
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
Solar Powered Calculator or photosynthesis
What is a solar powered calculator?
The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.
wavelength or crest
What is wavelength?
Rapid back and forth motion of air or other matter.
vibrations or shaking
What are vibrations?
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
Lamp or Solar Panels
What is a lamp?
This object can take visible white light and separate it into the colors of the spectrum.
prism or Spring scale
What is a prism?
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
source or frequency
What is frequency?
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are solar panels?
This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
Mechanical rays or ultraviolet rays
What are ultraviolet rays?
Animals that use low frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.
Polar Bears or Elephants
What are elephants?
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
This is an example of chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy.
Power plant or solar panels
What is a power plant?
This type of radiant energy can be used to preserve some foods by killing organisms that cause the food to spoil.
delta or gamma rays
What are gamma rays?
These sound waves can be used to create images of a patient's body without the harmful effects of x-rays.
Gamma or ultrasound waves
What are ultrasound waves?
