Energy Sources

Energy Sources. Radiant. Radiant energy is energy that is carried by light. Examples: light, x-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light. Thermal (heat) energy. Energy that is formed by the movement and vibration of atoms. Thermal energy increases as an object’s temperature increases.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Energy Sources

  2. Radiant • Radiant energy is energy that is carried by light. • Examples: light, x-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light

  3. Thermal (heat) energy • Energy that is formed by the movement and vibration of atoms. Thermal energy increases as an object’s temperature increases.

  4. Sound • Energy that is produced by sound vibrations as vibrations travel through different material.

  5. Kinetic energy • Energy of movement. For example, running water or a person walking down the hall.

  6. Mechanical energy • Energy from the force of moving parts. • Examples: bending your arm to carry something or a crane moving an object.

  7. Electrical energy • Energy formed by the movement of electrons and usually travels through a wire. • Example: Lightning

  8. Gravitational Potential energy • Potential energy that an object has at an elevated position. • Example: a rock at the top of a hill, a ball at the top of its bounce.

  9. Chemical energy • Energy that is stored in chemical bonds. • Examples: a battery, burning wood,

  10. Nuclear energy • Energy that is made from the splitting of atoms. • Example: Light from the Sun
