Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position.

Front

Define collision theory.

Back

Collision theory states that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation.

Front

What is the relationship between amplitude and energy in waves?

Back

The energy a wave carries is directly related to its amplitude.

Back

Microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet.

Front

What distinguishes mechanical waves from electromagnetic waves?

Back

Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through, while electromagnetic waves do not.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of motion.
