 * energy**- the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.
 * radiation**- the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.
 * wavelength**- the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
 * frequency**- the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
 * reflect**- (of a surface or body) throw back (heat, light, or sound) without absorbing it.
 * refract**- (of water, air, or glass) make (a ray of light) change direction when it enters at an angle.
 * absorb**- take in or soak up (energy, or a liquid or other substance) by chemical or physical action, typically gradually.

False. This statement is false because it is made up of more than just visible light. The website includes information such as the EM being made up of other rays. True. Some microwaves can pass through clouds so it Is apart of the atmosphere. Commincation is important because it can travel such distances. True. Mechanical waves are not related to electromagnetic waves. These waves that cause sound cannot travel through space mainly because there is no oxygen to transfer the waves. False. It is false because the energy with long wavelengths decrease. When wave lengths are shorter the energy Increases. True. How light travels, reflects on the actions of light and how it "behaves." We can figure out how far objects are by the time it takes for The relfective light to hit or shine on an object. True. The different types of wavelengths travel at different rates, therefore they are slowed down. The speed and slowness of these lengths cause the light to be bent. this could be a problem because of the light is different and bending in different ways, the objects would be farther and more of a fuzzy image. It could be hard to make clear and detect because of the distortion. True. Many objects in space produce a cooler energy causing the naked eye to see minimal colors and shapes. The cool energy is a lighter and more faded becauseit does not give off the infrared rays that we need to see an object in space, more clearer. False. The data from the ground telescopes causes the light To not be easily seen. The atmosphere sucks up and absorbs light. True. The yellow color produces or emits way more light than any other star. Yellow stars are over 5000 degrees celcius, if the star or light were cooler it would show up as a red color. That is why the sun is yellow. True. Patterns that the lines in the visible spectra can tell us information about hidden masses or objects throughout space. These little patterns can detect these messages.
 * The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of only visible light.
 * Microwaves are used to communicate with satellites because they can pass through parts of our atmosphere
 * Mechanical waves such as sound cannot travel through space
 * Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with long wavelengths have the most 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.
 * Different types (wavelengths) of light are refracted (bent) differently.
 * EXTRA CREDIT Using question 6: Why do you think this would be a problem when making a telescope using lenses?
 * 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.
 * Ultraviolet light from space is easily researched using ground telescopes.
 * A star that emits mostly yellow visible light is hotter than a red star.
 * 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.

** Reflection Questions ** 1. What characteristic does your group feel is most important in your ranking system?

2. Why do you feel this is more important than the others?

3. Can you properly explain your selection process?

Readiness Questions 1. What is the Problem? Luke does not know what telescope is best. 2. Who is the client? Luke s. Walker 3. What is the client asking your team to do? Rank the telescopes in the order we think is right. 4. What things do you need to include in your solution? A clear procedure and the knowledge of what telescope can best analyze the study of space. 5. Do you think there is more than one correct answer to what the client is asking? Why or why not? Yes, because he is asking for our educated opinion. The information is needed to study space
