An oven is being used to bake cookies in this house. What energy transformations occur when baking cookies in this house? a heat energy → electrical energy → chemical energy b light energy → electrical energy → heat energy c heat energy → chemical energy → light energy d heat energy → light energy → chemical energy
The correct answer is:
c heat energy → chemical energy → light energy
When baking cookies, the oven converts electrical energy into heat energy to heat up the oven. The heat energy is then transferred to the cookies, converting it into chemical energy as the ingredients undergo a chemical reaction and the cookies are baked. Finally, when the cookies are done, they emit light energy in the form of infrared radiation as they are hot.
