SOUND, LIGHT &

HEAT
Sound energy, light energy
and heat energy can be
found all around us.
 SOUND
WHEN AN OBJECT VIBRATES, IT
PRODUCES SOUND WAVES.
THESE WAVES TRAVEL THROUGH A
MEDIUM (SOLID, LIQUID OR GAS) TO OUR
EARS SO THAT WE CAN HEAR THEM
 SOUND WAVES CAN ONLY TRAVEL
THROUGH A MEDIUM SUCH AS AIR.
THEY CANNOT TRAVEL THROUGH A
VACUUM
It is a space where
sound does not
travel because there
won’t be any
molecules to vibrate
 WHAT IS AN ECHO?
SOUND WAVES BOUNCE
(REFLECT) FROM A
SURFACE BACK TO THE
LISTENER

Dolphins, whales and some

birds use echo to navigate
and find food
 LIGHT
LIGHT SOURCES
PRODUCE LIGHT
ENERGY.
WITHOUT LIGHT
ENERGY, WE
WOULDN’T BE
ABLE TO SEE
ANYTHING.
 LIGHT SOURCES
ARTIFICIAL NATURAL
● Man-made. ● Found in nature.
● Sun is the main source
● Light energy is
transformed from
another energy
source, such as
chemical or electrical
energy. northern lights

 When light comes into contact with an object, the
light can be absorbed, reflected or refracted.
