Telescopes
This famous scientist is credited with helping to make the telescope useful
Galileo
The space program focused on putting a man on the moon
Apollo
These types of waves travel the slowest
WRONG! All waves travel the same speed (light)
The hottest stars in space are this color
Blue
The highest point on a wave
Crest
This type of telescope is the physically largest and is usually based on earth (ground based)
Radio
Voyager
As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave gets shorter - this becomes true
FREQUENCY and ENERGY both increase
Snakes are able to detect this type of wavelength, which allows them to hunt more effectively at night
Infrared
The distance from one wave peak to the next
Wavelength
This type of telescope uses MIRRORS to study a star's light
Reflecting telescope
This large telescope is located in space, and orbits around the earth approximately 380 miles above
Hubble
This direction of movement of causes a star's spectrum to experience a RED shift
Moving away
When light hits a mirror at a specific angle (say 22 degrees), what is true about the reflection of that light?
It reflects at the same angle
The lowest point on a wave
Trough
The main purpose of the primary lens in a telescope is to...
Gather more light
This is considered a NATURAL satellite of earth
Moon
This is what you see when you light up a gas until it glows and THEN you use a prism to SEPERATE the colors
Emission Spectra
These are examples of what makes a place BAD to put a telescope
Low elevation, near a city, far away from the equator
The distance to the top of the highest point on a wave
Amplitude
These types of telescopes study different parts of the EM spectrum, observe radiant energy, and receive energy from space
Creator of all that we see in the sky
God
An object moving toward the viewer will show this type of shift in light emitted
Blue Shift
The coolest stars in space are this color
Red
What increases in a wave when the wavelength gets shorter?
The frequency
