100
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
100
Energy carried by electricity.
What is electrical energy?
100

This example is photosynthesis.

What is radiant energy being changed to chemical energy?

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
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200

This example is a solar powered calculator.

What is radiant energy being changed to electrical energy?

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
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300

This is example is a lamp.

What is electrical energy being changed to radiant (light) energy?

300
This object can take visible white light and separate it into the colors of the spectrum.
What is a prism?
300
The number of waves passing a given point in one second.
What is frequency?
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400

Energy stored in bonds of molecules in food or fuel or batteries.

What is chemical energy?

400

This example is a bow and arrow.

What is potential energy (gravitational and elastic) being changed into kinetic energy?

400

This type of radiant energy can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer. It can also be used to kill germs.

What are ultraviolet rays?

400

As the amplitude of a sound wave increases so does this.

What is the loudness?

500
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
500

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change from one form to another.

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

500

This example is a nuclear power plant.

What is nuclear energy being changed to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy?

500

This type of radiant energy has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.

What are gamma rays?

500
These sound waves can be used to create images of a patient's body without the harmful effects of x-rays.
