100

The ability to do work.

What is energy?

100

Energy carried by electricity.

What is electrical energy?

100

This is an example of radiant energy being changed to chemical energy.


Photosynthesis or Solar powered Calculator

What is photosynthesis?

100

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.


Solar Powered Calculator or photosynthesis

What is a solar powered calculator?

200

The distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave.


wavelength or crest

What is wavelength?

200

Rapid back and forth motion of air or other matter.


vibrations or shaking

What are vibrations?

300
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300

This is an example of electrical energy being changed to radiant energy.

Lamp or Solar Panels

What is a lamp?

300

This object can take visible white light and separate it into the colors of the spectrum.


prism or Spring scale

What is a prism?

300

The number of waves passing a given point in one second.


source or frequency

What is frequency?

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.

What is chemical energy?

400

This is an example of radiant energy being changed to thermal energy.

What are solar panels?

400

This type of radiant energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.

Mechanical rays or ultraviolet rays

What are ultraviolet rays?

400

Animals that use low frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.


Polar Bears or Elephants

What are elephants?

500
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.

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.


Power plant or solar panels

What is a power plant?

500

This type of radiant energy can be used to preserve some foods by killing organisms that cause the food to spoil.


delta or gamma rays

What are gamma rays?

500

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


Gamma or ultrasound waves

What are ultrasound waves?
