Energy Transformation
Light
Sound/ Lens
Thermal Energy
Potential & kinetic energy
100
The type of energy that is both visible and radio wave.
What is electromagnetic energy?
100
This is convex or concave and they bend light in a predictable way.
What is a lens?
100
Reflected light from an astronaut can travel through empty space, but sound waves can not.
Why might an astronaut in space be able to see another astronaut wave but not hear her clap her hands?
100
Transfer of heat between objects that are touching.
What is conduction?
100
Stored energy.
What is potential energy?
200
The total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material.
What is thermal energy?
200
The small part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we see.
What is visible light?
200
Both volume and pitch are properties of mechanical vibrations. Pitch depends on wave frequency and volume depends on wave amplitude.
How are volume and pitch alike, how are they different?
200
Convection.
What is transfer of heat by moving liquid or gas.
200
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
A material that resist transferring thermal energy is called this.
What is an insulator?
300
Light bends & focuses to a point.
What happens when light travels through a convex lens?
300
This is the shape of a convex lens
What is a circle?
300
Transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. This warms the top of lakes.
What is radiation?
300
Energy can travel through solids and liquids by means of this.
What is a mechanical wave?
400
Sources of thermal energy:
What are chemical reactions, friction, electricity, the sun
400
Something that causes light to refract so we can see all the colors of a rainbow.
What is a prism?
400
The measure of the strength or intensity of the vibrations that produce a sound.
What is volume?
400
The transfer of thermal energy from warmer regions to cooler regions.
What is heat?
400
This is where a roller coaster car has the most potential energy.
What is at the top of the biggest hill?
500
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material.
What is temperature?
500
This describes waves bouncing off a material.
What is reflection?
500
The measure of loudness.
What is decibles?
500
This transfers thermal energy from one area to another.
What is a conductor?
500
This is what happens with potential energy and kinetic energy when a ball rolls down a hill.
What is the ball has the most potential energy at the top of the hill and it changes into kinetic energy as it rolls down the hill.
