radiant or mechanical energy. For example a light bulb uses electrical energy and converts it into light while the rest is converted into heat. Light and heat are forms of radiant energy. Washing machines convert mechanical energy and ovens convert thermal energy. Our bodies also convert energy into our muscles by converting chemical energy into glucose which in turn converts into mechanical energy to make muscle movements. Photosynthesis is a form of natural energy that can be converted from radiant
