define: //**Order from lowest energy to Highest energy:**//
 * energy - t he 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
 * radio
 * microwave
 * infrared
 * visible
 * U.V
 * X-ray
 * Gamma Ray

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 ** It is false because on the website there is a chart and there is more light than just visible.
 * 2) **Microwaves are used to communicate with satellites because they can pass through parts of our atmosphere. TRUE **It is true because the website says that microwaves can penetrate through haze, clouds, etc.
 * 3) Mechanical waves such as sound cannot travel through space **TRUE** It is true because sound needs molecules and space has no molecules
 * 4) Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with long wavelengths have the most energy FALSE It is false because the longer the wave length has the less the 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. TRUE ** 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.
 * 6) **Different types (wavelengths) of light are refracted (bent) differently. TRUE ** It is true because the colors have different refractive indexes.
 * 7) **__EXTRA CREDIT__ Using question 6: Why do you think this would be a problem when making a telescope using lenses?** It would be a problem because maybe the light and colors would be different than what it actually looks like because of the way the reflect.
 * 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. TRUE ** It is true because everything gives off some sort of heat.
 * 9) **Ultraviolet light from space is easily researched using ground telescopes.** **FALSE** It is false because the telescope that sees ultraviolet in the Hubble Space telescope is in space.
 * 10) A star that emits mostly yellow visible light is hotter than a red star. **TRUE** It is true because yellow wavelengths have more energy and move faster. Red is the slowest.
 * 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** It is true because different materials react to light differently.


 * Reflection Questions**
 * 1) ** What characteristic does your group feel is most important in your ranking system? Resolution **
 * 2) ** Why do you feel this is more important than the others? ** We think its the most important because there's point of having a telescope if the resolution is so bad you cant even see out of it.
 * 3) ** Can you properly explain your selection process? **


 * Readiness Questions**
 * 1) ** What is the Problem? ** Advanced Space Optics wants us to analyze the 5 telescope models available with a rating scale so they can deciede on which one to bulid because they don't know which eould be best for a wide variety of missions.
 * 2) ** Who is the client? ** Luke S. Walker, CEO of Advanced Space Optics
 * 3) ** What is the client asking your team to do? ** Analyze the 5 different telescopes that Advanced Space Optics are tying to decide between to see which is the overall best.
 * 4) ** What things do you need to include in your solution? ** Resolution, spectrograph range, field of view, time to focus, and max viewing time.
 * 5) ** Do you think there is more than one correct answer to what the client is asking? Why or why not? ** There might be. its just ranking and almost opinion based.
