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?

What are opposite charges-neg electrons attracted to the positive protons?

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?

what is electric to sound?

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, digestion is an example.

What is chemical energy?

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 and they heat up.The more they move, the hotter it gets-think of water boiling.

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, it is a source of electrical energy.

What is a power plant?

500

When you put a light beam into water-flashlight into lake-that happens to the light?

What is refract (bend)?

500

These sound waves can be used to create images of a patient's body without the harmful effects of x-rays.
