Forms Energy

Chemical energy -
energy stored in a
substance because of the
bonding of the atoms.
Once this bonding is
broken, this energy is
released or changed.
photosynthesis
Food metabolism
Energy caused by the movement of electrons.
– electricity at rest brought by friction
– electricity produced when the free
electrons flow. It is what we use in
school and at home
MRI lightning

Scanning electron microscope


ECG
Radio telescope

Lovell telescope
Vibration- rapid back and
forth movement of the bodies
Sound Energy
Dolphins and shrews use
echolocation to determine
objects around them and their
location.
Radiant Energy
( Solar Energy )
Radiant Energy can travel through
an empty space called vacuum
Sources of Light

flashlight

camera
Light bulb

television lampshade
Gamma rays
Infrared waves

Ultra violet rays-


rays beyond the
violet wavelength
of light
PRISM

A triangular piece of glass that separates


light into seven bands of colors called
SPECTRUM
Sources of Heat

Bread toaster
airconditioner
microwave

kettle Hair dryer


Thermal Energy on the
Move: Ways of transferring heat
Conduction: the
transfer of energy through
matter by direct contact of
particles.
• It is best in solids, because
the particles are so close
Convection: the
transfer of energy by the
bulk movement of matter.
• It is used with fluids: any
material that flows
• when heat is added to a
fluid, the particles begin
to move faster
Radiation: the
transfer of energy in the
form of waves.
• Energy that travels by
radiation is often called
Radiant energy.
• The suns rays travel as
radiant energy
Energy produced by
nuclear fission and
nuclear fusion

When the atom is split or


fused, a huge amount of
energy is released.
Nuclear fission
Splitting the
nucleus of
elements with
heavy atoms,
releasing a large
amount of energy
( Thermonuclear Fusion )
Combining two or more
nuclei to form one heavier
nucleus to produce energy
