Energy transformations

Some students observing a classroom device being used, noticed the below energy transformations. 
Electrical → Mechanical → Sound
Which device were the students most likely observing?

• A triple beam balance measuring an object’s mass.
• A pencil sharpener plugged into a wall outlet.
• A projector displaying a diagram on the screen.
• A working flashlight used to light up a dark corner.

Which type of energy transformation occurs when a flashlight shines?

• chemical → thermal → electrical
• chemical → electrical → light
• thermal → chemical → light
• chemical → electrical → chemical

The Theory of the Conservation of Energy states -

• Energy can be created, just not destroyed. It changes its form from one type to another.
• Energy can never be created nor destroyed. It can only change its form from one type to another.
• The total energy in our Universe changes, as different forms of energies can be transformed from each other under certain circumstances.
• Energy transformations do not passively occur in our lives, rather we actively make use of energies and transform energies.
