This is Mrs. Saladino's favorite color.
What is green?
There is a single celled organism that is smaller than the wavelength of the color green.
This describes when electromagnetic radiation behaves like a wave and a particle.
What is dual nature?
The answer to this adorable meme.
What is awwww, hehehe?
Stored energy due to an object’s location in a gravitational field.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy stored in the chemical bonds holding together the molecules in various fuels or foods; is released during a chemical reaction that breaks down the compounds in the fuel or food.
What is chemical potential energy?
A nuclear reaction in which two hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together to form a helium nucleus, releasing energy in the process.
What is fusion?
A semiconductor device that converts light into electrical signals.
What are photovoltaic cells?
Refers to the single particle of electromagnetic energy, a single quantum; wave packet.
What is a photon?
The colors from red to violet that we can see.
What is visual spectrum?
Energy an object possesses by virtue of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
The type of energy shown in the image below.
What is nuclear energy from fission?
A nuclear chain reaction in which a neutron shatters the nucleus of a heavy element, producing nuclear fragments and additional free neutrons that shatter other nuclei…
What is fission?
As electromagnetic waves get ______ the wavelengths get _____.
What is higher and shorter?
This is the difference between mass and weight.
What is mass does not change and weight depends upon the amount of gravity is placed upon an object.
