Unit 4
What is Energy?
Energy is _____________________________

Everything that is done in the universe involves
the _______________________________
use or transfer of energy
Most of Earth’s surface processes are powered

is ___________________

direction in which they
are moving
__________
Transverse Waves

Visible light waves
______________________
are a type of
electromagnetic energy that is radiated by the

spectrum that can be seen by the human eye!
Characteristics and Types of

Different types of electromagnetic energy are
different wavelengths
distinguished by their _____________________
The wavelength is the distance from __________
one crest of
a wave to the next crest
______________________

_____________________shows
us the
spectrum
different types of electromagnetic energy in
order of __________________
wavelength
increasing
Where can you find the electromagnetic
spectrum chart?????
Relationship Between
Wavelength & Frequency
Long Wavelength
Low Frequency
Short Wavelength
High Frequency
Electromagnetic energy can be separated into
two groups by comparing it wavelengths to visible
light
Electromagnetic energy
with a wavelength
longer than visible light is called:
Long-wave
electromagnetic energy
__________________________
Electromagnetic energy with a wavelength
wave
shorter than visible light is called a: short
___________
Interactions of Electromagnetic Energy
When electromagnetic energy comes into contact
with a material, the waves interact with the
material. These interactions are as follows:
Refracted
1. _________________:
Bent in their passage
through materials or varying density
Reflected
2.___________________:
Bounced off the
material
Scattered
3. ___________________:
Refracted or reflected
in various directions
Refraction:
Reflection:
Interactions of Electromagnetic Energy
Transmitted
4. _________________:
Passed through the
material
5. __________________:
Taken into the material
Absorbed
Absorption
Characteristics of a surface determine the
amount of electromagnetic energy that can be
______________________________________
absorbed
________
Example: The darker the color of the surface
more visible light it will absorb
material, the __________________________
Absorption
The ______________
texture
or roughness or
smoothness of a surface also affects the
amount of electromagnetic energy that will be
absorbed
The _________________,
rougher a surface is the more energy it will
absorb and the less it will reflect
Absorption
The more effective a material is at absorbing
electromagnetic energy, the better it will also be
or giving off electromagnetic energy
at radiating

Transfer of Energy
Energy moves from a region of high
concentration or _______
source to a region of
low concentration
___________________or
sink
Transfer of energy from a region of higher
temperature to a region of lower temperature is
heat energy
called ____________________
Heat transfers ___________________
, which is
thermal energy
the energy of the motions of atoms and
molecules
Dynamic Equilibrium
Heat will continue to move from the source to the
energies are equal
sink until their _________________establishing
a __________________
dynamic equilibrium
At dynamic equilibrium, a region loses and gains
________________________
equal amounts of energy
Methods of Transfer
Conduction
2
Convection
1
3
Radiation
Methods of Transfer
Heat is transferred from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration
by three different methods:
#1 __________________
- The transfer of heat
Conduction
energy from atom to atom or molecule to
molecule when vibrating atoms collide
Most effective in _________________________
solids (especially metals)
because the atoms or molecules are closer
together than in__________________
liquids or gases
• CONDUCTION ANIMATION
Methods of Transfer
#2 __________________
The transfer of heat by
Convection
movement in fluids – __________________
gases and liquids caused by differences in density
Warmer portions of fluid tend to have
rise above the
lower densities and tend to _____________
_____________
cooler portions
_______________
• CONVECTION ANIMATION
Methods of Transfer
Higher-density portions of fluid are pulled down
displace less dense objects
and _______________________pushing
them
upwards
convection current
****The result is ___________________*****
Convection current: A circulatory motion that
transfers _______________________________
heat energy from one place to another
Convection Current
Sea Breeze
Land Breeze
Methods of Transfer
• #3 __________________
The method by which
Radiation
heat is transferred via electromagnetic
waves (ex. Light rays passing through window)
Can occur in____________________
liquids, solids and gases and does
not require ___________________________
a medium to transfer the energy
• RADIATION ANIMATION

Transformation of Energy
A transformation of energy is the changing of
______________________________________
one type of energy into another type of energy
Mechanical Energy:
1. All the energy of an object or system
_____________________________________
not related to the motions of the atoms and
molecules
________
2. The total of the ________________________
potential and kinetic energy
of an object or system
Transformation of Energy
Kinetic
__________________:
An object in motion has
this type of energy
Potential
__________________:
Energy related to position
or phase; Also thought of as “stored” energy
Either kinetic or potential energy can be
_________________________
transformed into the other
Examples of Kinetic and Potential Energy

• Frog jumping into the water
• Baseball pitcher standing at the mound
• Baseball pitcher throwing a pitch
• Child sitting on top of a playground slide
• Child going down a slide
One of the best examples!
