Term
Definition
Law of Conservation of Energy   the total amount of energy remains constant in an isolated (closed) system. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another.  
🗑
Solar Energy   The energy that gets radiated by the sun. It provides us heat and light energy free of cost.  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   The energy possessed as the body is in motion  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of a body  
🗑
Potential Energy   The energy possessed by an object as the object is at certain height that leads to the storage of energy due to its position  
🗑
Heat or Thermal Energy   The energy possessed by an object due to its temperature  
🗑
Chemical Energy:   The energy released in chemical reactions  
🗑
Sound Energy   The energy of a vibrating object  
🗑
Electrical Energy   The energy of moving electrons in a conductor connected with a battery  
🗑
Nuclear Energy   The energy released when two light nuclei fuse to form a heavy nucleus or when a heavy nucleus splits into two light nuclei  
🗑
Tidal energy   The moving molecule of water takes the air because of its quick movement of electrons. These moving water molecules keeps other water molecules moving.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum   includes a wide range of waves, some that we can and can't see. Some of the non-visible types of waves are radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, and X-rays.  
🗑
Wavelength   distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.  
🗑
Frequency   the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second; is expressed in hertz (Hz).  
🗑
Amplitude   a measure of the energy carried by a wave.  
🗑
Crest   highest point of a wave.  
🗑
Trough   lowest point of a wave.  
🗑
