Answer: Electrical -> Radiant Energy -> thermal Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrical energy is transferred from the electrical outlet to the microwave. Radiant energy is transformed into thermal energy as the popcorn kernels absorb the microwaves (Radiant Energy). This causes the kernels to become hot and pop (Thermal energy).

Hope this helps!
