Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work

Forms of Energy
Thermal Light Sound Electrical
At There is thermal energy in hot things Sun produces light energy for plants to grow There is Sound Energy in anything that makes noise home we use lots of electrical energy. Lightening produces light and electrical energy Chemical processes turn energy into heat, thermal , kinetc energy Moving things have kinetic energy

Chemical

Kinetic

Energy

can not

be created or destroyed only converted from one form to another.

Light
Light sources: things that produce light Natural light sources:
the Sun, stars, the fire candles, light bulbs..

Man-made light sources:

1. Always travels in

straight line

Light Properties:

2.

in all directions fastest ( 300.000 km/second)

seven different colours: red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo ,violet
If light reaches an object .

3. It, is the

4. It is made of

1. It can be reflected:

2. It can be absorbed

3 it can pass through

( totally or partially )

mirrors

opaque objects

Transparent objects

Translucent

Sound
It is a disturbance in a fluid ( air, water, elastic solid)

produced by a

vibration.
It travels in waves.

1. It travels in all directions Sound Properties 2. It travels through the air, water, or solid opaque objects.

3. Its not as fast as light ( 343 m/s) 4. It can be reflected by some objects: 5. No air, No sound Echo

Energy sources

They will never

run out

-VS-

They will eventually run out. It took millions of years to form Pollution

Global warming.
