What is Radiant Energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. It includes visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation.

Front

What is Sound Energy?

Back

Sound energy is a form of energy that is associated with the vibration of matter. It is produced when an object vibrates and creates sound waves.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.
