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
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 is an example of radiant energy being changed to electrical energy.
What is a 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
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 an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.
What is a lamp?
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 the way atoms are connected to each other.
What is chemical 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 ultraviolet rays?
400
Animals that use low frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.
What are elephants?
500
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
500
Energy of the movement of atoms and molecules.
What is thermal 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?
500
This type of radiant energy can be used to preserve some foods by killing organisms that cause the food to spoil.
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.
