When Vanessa presses the start button on the microwave, a light goes on, the tray begins to spin, and radiation heats her food. A "ding" sounds when the heating is done. Into what forms of energy is electrical energy being transformed in the microwave? Which of these forms of energy could you still observe once the microwave is turned off?

• Light, mechanical, and thermal energy; light and thermal energy can be observed after the microwave is off.

• Sound, chemical, and nuclear energy; sound can be observed after the microwave is off.

• Thermal, kinetic, and potential energy; potential energy can be observed after the microwave is off.

• Electrical, magnetic, and gravitational energy; magnetic energy can be observed after the microwave is off.
