According to scientific law, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.
Energy waste is simply converting energy into unwanted forms of energy. For instance, an incandescent bulb is not too efficient because in addition to light, it gives off heat and magnetism. The newer compact fluorescent bulbs and the even newer LED bulbs do not use as much electricity to produce the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs, and they don't get as hot. You can get burned if you unscrew a 100 Watt incandescent bulb while it is on. It might be uncomfortable to change a CFL bulb while it is in use, but it likely won't cause second degree burns. So it is converting less electricity to things other than light.

∙ 8y agoIn physics, there are lots of different things that cannot be created or destroyed. In such cases, scientists talk of a "conservation law". According to Noether's Theorem, such a conservation law is related to some symmetry of nature. Examples of conservation laws include:* Conservation of energy
* Conservation of mass
* Conservation of linear momentum
* Conservation of rotational momentum
* Conservation of charge
* Conservation of color charge
There are several others more, that are not very well-known outside the experts who regularly work with them.

in natural (closed) systems, both energy and matter can change forms but cannot be ---- or?
Created or destroyed
Is a true statement A. Energy can be destroyed but not created. B. The total amount energy in the universe changes rapidly. C. Energy can be created but not destroyed. D. Energy cannot be created?
C. Energy can be created but not destroyed. This statement aligns with the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
Can energy be destroyed and created?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, according to the law of conservation of energy. It can only be converted from one form to another.
How can a photon be destroyed or created?
A photon can be created when an electron transitions to a lower energy level and emits a photon. Conversely, a photon can be absorbed and "destroyed" when it is absorbed by an electron, causing the electron to transition to a higher energy level.
Energy is never or .?
Energy is never created or destroyed, it only changes forms. This is known as the principle of conservation of energy, a fundamental law of physics.
