When light energy changes, what type of energy does potential energy transfer to?

Back

When light energy changes, potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field, typically related to its height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

What is an example of thermal energy?

Back

An example of thermal energy is the heat produced by a stove when cooking food.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves, which can be heard when they reach our ears.

Front

What is radiant energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves, such as light from the sun.
