Q3 - Week 3 - Science 6 - Final

This document discusses different forms of energy including sound, heat, and light. It explains that sound is produced by vibrating objects and can be transmitted through air. Heat is the energy from the movement of tiny particles in matter and determines the temperature of an object. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be seen and also produces other forms of energy through conversion via solar panels.

Quarter 3 - Module 3,
Week 3: SOUND, HEAT AND LIGHT
ENERGY
INTRODUCTION
Energy is around us. It can make things move. It can also
produce light, heat, and sound. Our daily life depends on energy, from
the moment we get up from our bed until the end of the day. Our
phones and computers will not work unless it has energy in the form
of electricity in its battery. Appliances like the television and
refrigerators will also not work since they require energy, in the form
of electricity, to do so.
Different forms of energy like heat and light can be transformed
to electricity. Doing so will not only help us make a lot happen, but it
can also save our environment. This chapter will help you understand
about the different energies around us—how they can make things
move, how they are related to each other, and how they are
transformed to generate electricity. This chapter will help you
understand about the different energies around us— how they can
make things move, how they are related to each other, and how they

LESSON 1 Sound, Heat and Light Energy

Sound, heat, and light are other forms of energy that may be
explained in terms of the movements of smaller objects. Sound is
produced by vibrating bodies, like the strings of a guitar. Without any
medium, sound cannot travel. Heat or thermal energy is the energy
from the movement of tiny particles in matter. Light is the only energy
that we can readily see. It is also produced by vibrations of very small
particles in matter.

SOUND
Sound is produced in different ways. The simplest way is when
objects hit each other, Clap your hands. Drop a book on the table.
Marbles and billiard balls produce clicks as they collide, Percussion
instruments also produce sound this way. Sound produced this way
come from the kinetic energy lost when moving bodies collide.
Sound is produced by making vibrations. When you speak, sing
or hum, your vocal chords vibrate. Wind instruments make their
sound by sustaining the vibration of columns of air in their tubes.
Stringed instruments make sound when their strings vibrate. In
speakers, a part called the diaphragm vibrates to produce sound.

How Is Sound Transmitted and Heard?


The force of impact between two bodies and the vibrations of
bodies causes the air molecules around them to vibrate. The vibrating
air molecules pass on the energy to adjacent air molecules,

In each of our ears, we
have a very sensitive
membrane called the
eardrum. The vibrating air
causes the eardrum to also
vibrate. The small bones-
hammer, anvil, and stirrup-
then carry the energy to the
brain through the auditory
nerve.
HEAT
All matter is made up of tiny particles which are in constant
motion. Their constant movement produces energy. The sum of the
energies from the moving molecules in an object is its thermal energy.
This thermal energy can be transferred to another object. The
energy in transit is called heat. When heat is absorbed, it turns into
thermal energy.
When you dip a metal spoon in a cup of hot coffee, heat from the
water is transferred to the spoon. As the spoon absorbs the heat, its
tiny particles vibrate faster and increase their energies.
The energy from the movement of tiny particles will depend on
how much heat was absorbed. A higher average energy from the
movement of the particle also means a higher temperature. Note that
heat flow is determined by temperature. Heat always moves from an
object of high temperature to an object of lower temperature. Heat flow
will stop once the two objects are of the same temperature.
Heat from the coffee is transferred to the spoon. Water
molecules move faster when boiled.
LIGHT
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth in the form of light or
radiant energy that travels by electromagnetic (EM) waves. The sun's
energy travels as visible light, the only EM wave that can be seen by
the naked eye. The sun also gives off other types of EM waves such as
ultraviolet rays and infrared rays.

The electromagnetic waves

Light energy cannot move objects on its own. But it can be


converted to another form of energy, like electrical energy, to make
objects move and function. A solar radiometer, for example, absorbs
light using a fanlike assembly in its glass bulb and converts it to
kinetic energy.
This is also true for solar-powered cars. The solar panels convert
light energy into electricity which is then used to make the motor run.
Solar panels are also installed in some homes as an alternative energy
provide.

LET’S GO BEYOND
Fireworks display sound,
light and heat at the same time.
What are the elements or
mechanisms in using fireworks the
give off light, sound and heat?
Fireworks contain metal salts like
magnesium and aluminum that
produces bright, intense
colors when ignited. Stored energy inside the metal flakes is
transformed to light, sound, and heat energy when metal flakes are
burned.

LET’S CHECK!
Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and change the
underlined word/s if it is wrong. Write your answer in a piece of paper.
1. Sound is produced through vibrations.

2. Heat flows from an object with lower temperature to an object with


higher temperature.

3. Thermal energy travels by electromagnetic waves.

4. Solar panels convert light energy to electricity.


5. Visible light is the only EM wave seen by naked eye.
