Forms, Nature, Properties: -Light travels in straight lines until it is reflected, refracted or absorbed. -Heat can produced in many ways. -Heat can move objects by conduction -Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound and magnetic effects -Magnets attract and repel each other and other materials. -Energy is a property of many substances. -Energy is transferred in many ways -Heat moves from warmer to cooler -In most chemical and nuclear reactions, energy is transferred -The sun is a major source of energy for Earth. -Waves can transfer energy such as sound, seismic and light. -Electromagnetic waves result when a charged object is accelerated. Examples are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, visible -Each kind of atom can gain or lose energy only in particular discrete amounts. -Wavelengths of emitted radiation can be used to identify the substance. |
