How does thermal energy travels from the sun to the earth?
Thermal energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves in the low infrared (IR) spectrum. In the daytime, what you feel as warmth on your skin is IR. It is invisible and can only be felt, not seen; light can only be seen, not felt.
Radar waves are too long or too short to be seen?
Radar waves are too long to be seen.
Does energy ever go away?
No. Energy is converted. In Deepak Chopra's book Life after Death: The Burden of Proof, he explains that energy does disappear back into the void this universe was created in. It can't be destroyed but it can disappear. The void is responsible for vibrations in which energy appears from and disappears to.
What is the difference between light waves and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum. The speed of sound is 343 meters per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
What waves can you produce in a rope by snapping it up and down?
Transverse waves are the waves produced by moving a rope up and down. These are the types of waves seen in the ocean and in electromagnetic radiation (EM has two sets of waves perpendicular to one another and 90 degrees out of phase, for the electric and magnetic fields). Longitudinal waves are different...they are compression waves seen in sound.
What form of energy travels as waves from the sun to the earth?
Answer: RadiationThis includes visible light, gamma rays, UV rays and other waves. They can be seen in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are 2 energy waves that cant be seen?
Heat waves (infared) and sound waves.
What form of energy that can be seen?
Light Energy
How nuclear energy travel?
they travel in waves like ,but it is hard to be seen

Most energy use can be seen in the form of what?
Most energy use can be seen in the form of what motion or sound. There are different forms of energy which include chemical, potential, elastic and nuclear among others.
How is sound refected from surfaces?
Sound is mechanical energy. The energy displayed by the source is transferred into the medium through which it travels. When the wave, that moving energy, comes into contact with a surface, some of the energy is transferred into the surface. But how much? The more solid and "less moving" the surface (seen on a tiny scale), the less the moving air waves, those compression and rarifaction waves, can transfer energy into the surface. And that's what it's all about. The "softer" the surface, the more those pressure waves in air can affect that surface and transfer their energy into it.
Is a candle flame seen because it is luminious?
A candle flame is seen because the carbon hydrogen bonds in paraffin are being broken and energy is released as photons. The photons activate the photoreceptors in your retina to form an "image", then that image travels to the back of the brain through the optic nerve to be interpreted. The carbon and hydrogen atoms form new bonds with oxygen with their electrons in a lower energy state(as carbon dioxide and water).
Can energy be seen?
light energy - you can see the lightkinetic energy - you can see it movingpotential energy - you can see something higher than ground level so it can fall and be converted to kinetic energy
Radar waves are too long or too short to be seen?
Radar waves are too long to be seen.
Does your hand emit long or short wave radiation and how do you know?
Long wave radiation in the form of infrared waves. These can be seen with an infrared camera.
What Energy produced by nuclear fusion .?
Fusion, like fission, produces its energy mostly in the form of heat. Since this applies to atoms, it can also be seen as kinetic energy.
