Energy Conservation
Energy that is made from sources that are regenerated.
What is renewable energy?
When sound becomes louder or softer.
What is volume?
What is a thermometer?
The light we see as color.
What is visible light?
Organic matter used as fuel especially in power stations of the generation of electricity.
What is biomass?
Energy that is used a rate faster then it can be replaced.
What is non-renewable?
The highness or lowness of sound.
What is pitch?
When heat or thermal energy is transferred between two objects touching each other.
What is conduction?
Light waves that bounce off an object. ex. a mirror, glass, or water
What is reflection?
Renewable energy produced through machines that use wind as their power source.
What is wind energy?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
The rate of vibrations in different pitches.
What is frequency?
____ is the amount of increased temperature that occurs due to the movement of particles in matter.
What is Thermal energy?
Light waves that bend when they pass through a clear object. In refraction, red light waves bend the least and violet bend the most, which gives us a rainbow effect when it bounces of glass or raindrops.
What is refraction?
Use of the tides or waves to produce energy.
What is Tidal or Wave energy?
The wise and efficient use of energy resources, resulting in reduced energy use.
What is energy conservation?
A disturbance that travels through a medium like air or water.
What is a wave?
Occurs when heat is transferred between two objects that are not touching, and can even be very be far apart.
What is radiation?
A tiny particle or packet of energy. The quantum of electromagnetic energy, generally regarded as a discrete particle having zero mass, no electric charge and an indefinitely long lifetime.
What is a photon?
Heat from the earth converted into energy.
What is geothermal energy?
Nonrenewable energy sources, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, which are made from living matter of a previous geologic time and used for fuel.
What is a fossil fuel?
Sound waves or vibrations with frequencies below that of audible sound (too low for human hearing).
What is infrasonic sound?
A form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules, and capable of being transmitted through solid and fluid media by conduction, through fluid media by convection, and through empty space by radiation.
What is heat?
Some scientist believe light streams in particles called photons and in waves.
What is wave particle duality?
Stored energy by using dams to control water.
What is hydroelectric energy?
