Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the different types of energy mentioned in the problem: Radiant energy, Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and Thermal energy.
Understand the concept of stored energy: Stored energy is energy that is held within a system and has the potential to do work in the future.
Recognize that potential energy is a type of stored energy. It is energy due to an object's position or configuration, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy.
Differentiate potential energy from other types of energy: Radiant energy is energy carried by electromagnetic waves, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and thermal energy is the energy related to the temperature of a system.
Conclude that potential energy is the correct answer as it is the type of energy that is considered stored energy.
