The law in science that energy (or its equivalent in mass) can't be either created or destroyed Doppler effect - A shift in the wavelength of waves (such as light or sound waves) received from an object as it moves toward or away from the observer Electromagnetic radiation - Radiation made up of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, visible light, gamma rays, and X rays
a fundamental law of physics which states that the energy of a system does not change unless an external force acts upon the system.
see law of conservation of energy
As it applies to infrared imaging, this means that the sum (in terms of percentages) of the energy absorbed, transmitted, and reflected by an object must add up to 100%. Within the assumptions of Kirchoff’s Law, the energy absorbed is equal to the energy emitted.
the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant despite internal changes
The law of science that states that energy (or its equivalent in mass) can neither be created nor destroyed.
The law of conservation of energy states that when energy changes from one form to another, the total amount of energy is always constant. However, some of the energy may be converted to a form in which it is not very useful, for example heat. Types of Energy
A fundamental law of physics (and chemistry): the total sum of energy in a "closed system"--one which does not interact with others around it--stays unchanged as time advances.
A fundamental law of modern physics which states that the sum of the various forms of energy must always remain constant in any physical process.
Principle stating that energy can be converted from one form into another but it cannot be destroyed or created; the total amount of energy remains constant.
a law of physics that states that energy can not be created or destroyed only converted from one form to another
Conservation of energy is a basic principle of physics stating that energy can never be created or destroyed, it just changes form. For example, the chemical energy in an atom's bond turns into heat during combustion.
The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, although it can be changed from one form to another. Also known as "energy conservation."
The principle that states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, merely exchanged from one form to another. Thus for any closed system (for example, a star or the universe), the total energy is constant, but the amount of energy in any one form may change.
The principle that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. This principle takes into account all forms of energy in the system; it therefore provides a constraint on the conversions from one form to another. See energy equation for formulations applicable to meteorology.
