Science Flashcards
Light Energy
form of electromagnetic radiation
Electric Charge
physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field
Thermal Energy
produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
Chemical Energy
s stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules.
Solar Energy
light, heat, and other forms of energy given off by the Sun.
Radiant Energy
energy sent out in the form of electromagnetic waves Heat, light, and radio waves.
Conduction
transfers heat within a body or between two bodies that are touching.
Temperature
degree of hotness or coldness measured on a definite scale.
Vibration
periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles.
Conductor
re materials that permit electrons to flow freely from particle to particle.
Transfer
move from one place to another.
Insulator
a material that is a poor conductor (as of electricity or heat).
Kinetic Energy
energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion.
Electricity
flow of tiny particles called electrons and protons.
Convection
a way in which heat travels.
