8. Radiant and chemical energy

Figure 6.8
- RADIANT ENERGY is the energy transported by electro-magnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation (light) is electromagnetic waves that propagate through space.
There are many types of these waves depending on the frequency, X-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, Infrared etc.










Figure 6.9
- CHEMICAL ENERGY is energy stored in chemical bonds.
Gasoline and food are examples of compounds with chemical potential energy.
During chemical reactions, chemical energy can be released or absorbed, for example, in combustions. Food stores chemical energy.
