Laws to Know
These two Laws state that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Law of Conservation of Mass, and the Law of Conservation of Energy.
An infant star before any nuclear reactions are taking place.
Protostar
Light waves are an example of this kind of wave
Transverse Wave
The current model of the beginning of the universe, stating that it started 13.8 billion years ago.
The big-bang theory
The stretching or compression of a wave as an object approaches or departs from the observer
The Doppler effect
This law states that an object at rest stays at rest, or an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Newton's 1st Law
The theoretical remnants of a star after all sources of energy have burnt out.
Black Dwarf
Sound Waves are an example of this kind of wave
Longitudinal Wave
Sound travels quickest through this medium
Solids
This is what causes stars to not collapse under their own weight.
Equilibrium of outward pressure to inward pull.
This law states that the force of an object is relative to the mass and the acceleration that object is experiencing
Newton's 2nd Law
The phase of both low-mass and high-mass stars once nuclear reactions start to occur. (You're telling me, our sun is only a teenager?!?)
Main-sequence
Distance between two successive parts of a wave (crest to crest)
Wavelength
Every object with Mass has this force, that attracts every other object. (Though you wouldn't notice.)
Force of Gravity
This is the final fusion point for large mass stars, leading to their quick inevitable death.
Iron
This Principle states that no matter where you are positioned in the Universe, the Universe will remain homogeneous and isotropic.
Cosmological Principle
This is commonly stated as the birthplace of stars, filled with mostly hydrogen and helium gas.
Nebula
The amount of wavelengths that pass a point over a period of time.
Frequency
These are the two most abundant elements in the universe
Hydrogen and Helium
This term is used to described the energy deficiency in large mass stars once they have fused their largest elements resulting in forced fusion of those same elements.
Negative feedback loop
This Law states that an objects movement away from us is proportional to its distance.
Hubble's Law
These are the three fates that a high-mass star can meet. (Honestly, I wouldn't want to be around when it happens)
Blackhole
Supernova
Neutron Star
This occurs when two wavelength clash. They either make one stronger wave, or cause each wave to weaken.
Constructive or destructive interference.
Often referred to as ROYGBIV or all of the colors we can see as humans.
The visible light spectrum
The event where the Universe cooled down enough to start forming nuclei, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
