Types of Energy Quiz

Radiant Energy

Definition: Sun gives off energy as
electromagnetic waves it is called radiant
energy.

Examples :

Microwaves

Gas flames

Chemical Energy

Examples:

Chemical energy- is energy stored in the bonds of
atoms and molecules. Chemical energy is converted to
thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or
burn gasoline in a car's engine.

Electrical Energy

Electric Energy- is the energy
that an electric current carries.

Examples:

Sound Energy

Sound energy- is the movement of energy in waves. It is
generated by vibrations and needs a medium, such as air,
water, or a solid to travel through.It is produced when
sound waves move outwards from a vibrating object or
sound source.

Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy - is energy that is stored in
the nucleus of an atom

Examples:

Sun

Nuclear weapons

Thermal Energy

Thermal Energy: is the energy due to the motion of
particles that make up an object. Thermal energy
moves from hot or warm objects and heats up the
contacting surface.

Examples:
