The ability to do work or cause change

List the 5 types of energy.

Kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, chemical

Solar, wind, water, nuclear, geothermal

Heat, light, sound, magnetic, gravitational

Elastic, sound, nuclear, mechanical, light

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy

Kinetic energy is stored energy, while potential energy is the energy of motion

Kinetic energy can only be found in liquids, while potential energy is only in solids

There is no difference; they are the same type of energy

Define electrical energy and give an example.

Energy caused by the movement of electrons; example: lightning

Energy from the sun; example: solar panels

Energy from heat; example: a burning fire

Energy from sound waves; example: music playing

Define light energy and give an example.

Energy that can be seen; example: sunlight

Energy from heat; example: a hot stove

Energy from movement; example: a spinning fan

Energy from chemicals; example: a battery

Define thermal energy and give an example.

Energy from heat; example: a cup of hot tea

Energy from sound; example: a ringing bell

Energy from light; example: a flashlight

Energy from movement; example: a flowing river

Define sound energy and give an example.

Energy that travels in waves through air or other materials; example: music from a speaker

Energy from light; example: a laser beam

Energy from heat; example: an oven

Energy from movement; example: a car engine

What is a wave in the context of energy travel?

A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

A static object that does not move

A measurement of energy consumption

What does the wavelength of a wave represent?

The distance between peaks of a wave

The number of waves that pass within a specific time

How is frequency related to wavelength?

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength

The higher the frequency, the longer the wavelength

Frequency and wavelength are not related

The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength

What does amplitude measure in a wave?

The number of waves passing in a specific time

Which of the following is true about a wave with higher amplitude?

It has a higher volume than a wave with a shorter amplitude

It has a lower volume than a wave with a shorter amplitude

It travels slower than a wave with a shorter amplitude

It has a lower frequency than a wave with a shorter amplitude

How do sound waves from a musical instrument like a trumpet reach your ear?

They cause the air particles to vibrate

They cause the air particles to freeze

They are transformed into light energy

They are converted into electrical signals outside the ear

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place

A static object that does not move

How are wavelength and frequency related?

They are inversely proportional to each other

They are directly proportional to each other

Explain how you can hear the sound from a trumpet.

Sound waves from the trumpet travel through the air to your ears

The trumpet produces light waves that are seen, not heard

Sound from the trumpet is transmitted through solid objects only

The trumpet creates electrical signals that your ears interpret as sound

Label the wave with amplitude and wavelength.

Amplitude is the height of the wave, and wavelength is the distance between two peaks

Amplitude is the distance between two peaks, and wavelength is the height of the wave

Amplitude is the color of the wave, and wavelength is the sound of the wave

Amplitude is the speed of the wave, and wavelength is the direction of the wave

What is the visible spectrum?

The range of light waves that can be seen by the human eye

The colors that an apple reflects

The light that comes from the Sun

The wavelengths of light that are absorbed by objects

Why do we see a red apple as red?

Because the apple absorbs all colors except red

Because the apple reflects all colors including red

Because the apple emits red light

Because red light is the only color that cannot be seen by the human eye

What happens when light is absorbed by an object?

The object does not allow light to pass through or reflect off of it

The object reflects all wavelengths of light

The object allows all light to pass through

The object changes the light into a different form of energy

Why can't we see objects in the dark?

Because there is no light to bounce off of objects

Because there is too much light reflecting off objects

Because objects absorb all the light

Because the visible spectrum is not present in the dark

What does white light contain?

All the colors of the visible spectrum

What does encoding mean in the context of information transfer?

The process of changing information from one form to another

The process of interpreting a message

The act of speaking or drawing to communicate

The method of using only visual signs to communicate
