This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is radiant energy?
100
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?
200
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
200
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
200
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
What is solar powered calculator?
200
The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.
What is wavelength?
200
Rapid back and forth motion of air or other matter.
What are vibrations?
300
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
What is a lamp?
300
When visible light hits an object, it may behave in one of 3 ways.
What is transparent = light passes through, translucent = some light can pass through, or opaque = no light can pass through?
300
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
What is frequency?
400
When a roller coaster has the most potential energy.
What is at the top of the hill?
400
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal energy?
400
This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are solar panels?
400
This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
What are UV rays?
400
The type of sound waves for low frequency waves.
The type of sound waves for high frequency waves.

500
Name 2 things that can affect an objects potential energy.
What are height and mass?
500
Energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical energy?
500
This is an example of chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy.
What is a power plant?
