1. A student investigated the energy transformations that occur when a call is placed from cell phone A and received by cell phone B. The student drew a diagram to show the process. Based on the diagram, what evidence is there for the transformation of chemical energy into electrical energy, and which other energy transformations must occur for the call to be received by cell phone B?

• Evidence:

  Cell phones are powered by a battery that produces the electricity used to send or receive a call.

  Transformation 1: Sound energy is transformed into

  electrical energy by cell phone A.

  Transformation 2: Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy in the cell towers and base station

• Evidence:

  Cell phones are powered by a battery that produces the electricity used to send or receive a call.

  Transformation 1: Sound energy is transformed into

  electromagnetic waves by cell phone A.

  Transformation 2: Electromagnetic waves are transformed back into sound energy by cell phone B.

• Evidence:

  Base stations are powered by a battery that produces the electricity used to receive and forward a call.

  Transformation 1: Sound energy is transformed into electrical energy by cell phone A.

  Transformation 2: Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy in the cell towers and base station

• Evidence:

  Base stations are powered by a battery that produces the electricity used to receive and forward a call.

  Transformation 1: Sound energy is transformed into electromagnetic waves by cell phone A.

  Transformation 2: Electromagnetic waves are transformed back into sound energy by cell phone B
