 * energy:The strength that you need to do anything physical and mental.
 * radiation: the release of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving particles
 * wavelength: How far apart these energy waves are from each other.
 * frequency: the speed at which something occurs or is repeated over a period of time
 * reflect: To bounce back, when whatever it is, is being throw on it.
 * refract: make something change direction when it enters at an angle.
 * absorb: To soak in something such as energy or sunlight.

1. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of only visible light. It's false because on the site there is a chart that says visible light. Microwaves are used to communicate with satellites because they can pass through parts of our atmosphere it is true because on the site it says that microwaves can penetrate through haze clouds, clouds. Mechanical waves such as sound cannot travel through space because sound needs molecules and space has no molecules Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with long wavelengths have the most energy the longer the wave length has the less the energy. Because we knowing how fast light travels and how it is reflected, we can use this information to figure out how far away objects are. It is true because the speed of light in a light year and that's how far light travels in a year so then we know where things are. Different types (wavelengths) of light are refracted (bent) differently. It is true because the colors have different refractive indexes. EXTRA CREDIT Using question 6: Why do you think this would be a problem when making a telescope using lenses?
 * ** False **
 * ** True **
 * **True**
 * ** False **
 * **TRUE**
 * **TRUE**

It would be a problem because maybe the light and colors would be different that what it actually looks like

Even though we can’t see it with our eyes, cooler objects such as planets and people emit infrared waves that can be studied with special instruments. It is true because everything gives off some sort of heat. Ultraviolet light from space is easily researched using ground telescopes. It is false because the telescope that sees ultraviolet in the Hubble Space telescope is in space.
 * **TRUE**
 * FALSE

A star that emits mostly yellow visible light is hotter than a red star. It is true because yellow wavelengths have more energy and move faster. Absorption lines in the visible spectra and patterns of reflectance can be used to tell us what distant objects like stars and planets are made of. It is true because different materials react to light differently.
 * **TRUE**
 * **TRUE**


 * Reflection Questions**

1. What characteristic does your group feel is most important in your ranking system?
 * I believe that it is resolution

2. Why do you feel this is more important than the others?
 * Because, it's how the entire thing turns out to be. That proves that it's very important.

3. Can you properly explain your selection process?
 * I propose that the wide field and semi wide field are the best telescopes in this case. Without the extra three, the highest would be target acquisition. I have selected these because, in this rare case, we have chosen the one with the lowest percentage.
 * Readiness Questions**

1. What is the Problem?
 * ASO doesn't know what model to build, so they ask us.

2. Who is the client? 3. What is the client asking your team to do? 4. What things do you need to include in your solution? 5. Do you think there is more than one correct answer to what the client is asking? Why or why not? (Few days in the future: I tied! The irony!)
 * Luke S. Walker is the CEO of the ASO (Advanced Space Optics).
 * He's asking us to review 5 telescopes, and give them our opinion on what telescope they should build.
 * Resolution, spectrograph range, field of view, time to focus, and max viewing time.
 * There could be more than one answer based on the ranking, like if they tied or something.


 * Science Standards**

SC.8.E.5.11: Identify and compare characteristics of the electromagnet spectrum such as wavelength, frequency, use, and hazards and recognize its application to an understanding of planetary images and satellite photographs.

SC.8.E.5.10: Assess how technology is essential to science for such purposes as access to outer space and other remote locations, sample collection, measurement, data collection and storage, computation, and communication of information.
