sound energy
What is sound energy?
This type of energy is produced by vibrating objects and travels through air, liquids, or solids.
What is radiant energy?
This type of energy is associated with electromagnetic waves, including visible light.
What is thermal energy?
This type of energy is related to the temperature of an object and the motion of its particles.
What is electrical energy?
This type of energy is caused by the movement of electric charges.
What is chemical energy?
This type of energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
What is a decibel?
The unit used to measure the intensity of sound is called this.
What is solar power?
This process uses radiant energy from the sun to produce electricity.
What is conduction?
The transfer of thermal energy through direct contact is called this.
What is a motor?
This device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What is combustion?
This process releases chemical energy in the form of heat and light.
What is an echo?
This phenomenon occurs when sound waves bounce off a surface.
What are microwaves?
This type of radiation is used in microwave ovens to heat food.
What is convection?
This process occurs when thermal energy moves through fluids (liquids and gases).
What is the kilowatt-hour?
The unit of electrical energy commonly used is this.
What is solar energy?
Photosynthesis converts this type of energy into chemical energy.
What are ultrasound waves?
This type of wave is used in medical imaging to create images of the inside of the body.
What is refraction?
This phenomenon occurs when light is bent as it passes through different mediums.
What is the Celsius scale?
This scale is commonly used to measure temperature in scientific contexts.
What is incandescent light?
This phenomenon occurs when electrical energy is transformed into light.
What are some types of chemical energy?
fuels (fossil fuels, biomass, hydrogen), batteries (electrochemical energy), food (biochemical energy for cellular respiration).
What is a guitar?
This musical instrument produces sound by vibrating strings.
What is thermal radiation?
This type of energy is emitted by all objects based on their temperature.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
What is Ohm's Law?
This law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
How can nuclear power plants use chemical energy?
By splitting atoms (fission) to release immense heat.
