Energy 1
The capacity to do work or cause change
The energy carried by electromagnetic waves, including light, radio waves, and X-rays
Electromagnetic Energy
The quality of a sound determined by its frequency; how high or low a tone sounds
Pitch
When energy from waves (like light or sound) is taken in by a material
Absorption
Not allowing light to pass through; blocking light
Opaque
The energy an object has because of its motion
kenetic energy
The energy that comes from heat, related to the temperature of an object
Thermal Energy
Rapid back-and-forth movement or oscillation of particles or objects
Vibration
The rule that when a wave hits a surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
Law of Reflection
A continuous signal that varies over time, representing data with varying amplitude or frequency
Analog Signal
The stored energy an object has due to its position or state
Potential Energy
The sum of kinetic and potential energy in a physical system
Mechanical Energy
The highest point of a wave
Crest
A space entirely empty of matter, with no air or particles.
Vacuum
A discrete signal that represents data in binary form (0s and 1s)
Digital Signal
The energy released during nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion
Nuclear Energy
Electromagnetic energy that can be seen as visible light
Light Energy
The lowest point of a wave
Trough
The distance between two similar points on consecutive waves (like crest to crest)
Wavelength
a chemical substance that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves some metals, and turns litmus red; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind
Acid
The energy stored in chemical bonds, released during chemical reactions
Chemical Energy
Energy carried by sound waves, which we hear as noise or music
Sound Energy
Oscillations or vibrations that travel through space or a medium, transferring energy
Waves
The movement of energy from one place or object to another
Energy Transfer
a scale to measure the acidity or basicness of something
Ph scale
