Energy Forms

Visual Spectrum

• Heat, Kinetic, Electrical, Light, Sound, Potential, Chemical
• when light waves bounce off an object
• The transfer of heat through movement.
• The light waves that we're able to see.

Translucent

• the length of one sound or light wave
• light waves that we're able to see
• an object that light can pass through but with some interference
• An object through which light can pass with no interference.

energy transfer

• the law that states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes back and forth between forms.
• n object through which light can pass without interference.
• when an energy form stays the same, but travels to another object.
• when an energy changes from one form to another.

Reflection

• When light waves bounce off an object.
• when light waves bend.
• when light is able to pass through an object without any interference.
• when light cannot freely pass through an object.

Pitch

• transfer of energy from particle to particle like a spoon getting warm in hot soup.
• How high or low a sound is based on the frequency of vibrations
• transfer of heat through movement.
• the length of one sound wave.
