Define the following terms

Energy - Power deprived and the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work Machines.

Radiation - the emmission 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 simple.

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.

Answer each question as TRUE or FALSE. After each answer, write one or two sentences from the website that provides evidence to support your answer. []


 * 1) The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of only visible light. False because it contains many other things that are In the spectrum.
 * 2) Microwaves are used to communicate with satellites because they can pass through parts of our atmosphere True because these parts are used for many things like radar images and even weather.
 * 3) Mechanical waves such as sound cannot travel through space true but it has to have a meaning such as a vacuum.
 * 4) Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with long wavelengths have the most energy this statement is false because it has the lowest energy.
 * 5) 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's True because we can do light years.
 * 6) Different types (wavelengths) of light are refracted (bent) differently. true because of all different colors and wavelengths
 * 7) EXTRA CREDIT Using question 6: Why do you think this would be a problem when making a telescope using lenses?true because of the light bending
 * 8) 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. False because the earth absorbs much of the ultraviolet radiation
 * 9) Ultraviolet light from space is easily researched using ground telescopes. True because it shows more visible light
 * 10) A star that emits mostly yellow visible light is hotter than a red star. True our sun produces more levels get than others
 * 11) 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. True these patters Provide more scientific clues

Reflection Questions

1. What characteristic does your group feel is most important in your ranking system? The Characteristic 2. Why do you feel this is more important than the others? 3. Can you properly explain your selection process?

Readiness Questions1. 2. Who is the client? Luke S, Walker 3. What is the client asking your team to do? the client is asking our team to rank the telescopes and see which one is better 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? Yes i think there is more than one answer better than the others.
 * 1) What is the Problem?

Science StandardsSC.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. Language Arts Standards LAFS.68.RST.1.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.
