Answer:

  1. Solar energy, Nuclear energy, Geothermal energy, Ocean energy, hydro-energy and Bio energy.

 

  1. (i) Renewable sources of energy

(ii) Non-renewable sources of energy.

 

  1. The Sun is the biggest source for all our energy requirements. It produces energy due to nuclear fusion.

 

  1. (i) Solar cooker (ii) Solar water heater.

 

  1. (i) Wind energy (ii) Biomass energy.

 

  1. Black surfaces absorb the maximum amount of heat from the solar radiation.

 

  1. A glass sheet allows the infrared radiation to enter the solar heating device but does not allow it to escape through it or we can say it traps the heat radiation inside the solar heating device.

 

  1. It converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical energy.

 

  1. The kinetic energy of water flowing out of the gates of a dam is converted into electric energy.

 

  1. (i) Nuclear energy (ii) Geothermal energy.

 

  1. 1.4 kilojoule per second per square metre, i.e., 1.4 kW/m2 (approximately).

 

  1. Bagasse is the residue of sugarcane from which juice has been extracted. It is used to generate bioenergy.

 

  1. Biogas is produced by anaerobic degradation of biomass in the presence of water but in the absence of oxygen.

 

  1. Coke is a fuel which is obtained by the destructive distillation of coal. It contains carbon.

 

  1. Fuel oil.

 

  1. (i) Kerosene oil (ii) Liquefied Petroleum gas (LPG).

 

  1. Butane.

 

  1. Methane.

 

  1. Coke, coal tar, ammoniacal liquor and coal gas.

 

  1. Prehistoric remains of plants and animals which got buried under the Earth due to some natural calamity.
