The type of energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium is known as thermal energy. Specifically, when particles in a substance vibrate due to temperature changes, the energy associated with that motion is referred to as thermal kinetic energy. This is a part of the overall internal energy of the substance, which encompasses both kinetic and potential energies associated with the arrangement and movement of particles.
