Useful energy- Energy transformed in the form and where it was wanted.
Wasted energy- Energy transferred which isn't wanted and comes out as a different form.
Wasted energy- Energy transferred which isn't wanted and comes out as a different form.
Conservation- Being able to keep things the same.
Efficiency- Relates to the use of all inputs in producing any given outputs.

Fossil Fuels- A fossil fuel is a naturally formed fuel that has been formed by the remains of dead living organisms from millions of years ago. These can be found as coal, gas or oil. Fuels are known as fuels because when they burn they give off heat. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source which means that they can't be used again when they have been used once. They also release a lot of carbon dioxide which effects the greenhouse effect.
Amplitude- The measurement from the equilibrium to the peak/trough. (measured in meters 'm')
Time Period- The time for a duration of 1 wave.
Frequency- The rate per second of a vibration through a material. (measured in hertz 'Hz')
Wavelength- The measurement from one point to a point 2 consecutive waves after. (measured in meters 'm')
Particle motion- The movement which the particles move during wave movement.
Equilibrium- An imaginary line which separates the wave peaks and troughs.
