Question 1 (19 points)

Match the Universe term with the definition.

Column A
1.
Higher energy COLOR on the Visible Spectrum due to shorter wavelengths:
2.
Lower energy COLOR on the Visible Spectrum due to longer wavelengths:
3.
Change in frequency of a wave, relative to an observer. Creates a change in sound or color for the observer. This is called the ____________
4.
As a star moves further from Earth, we see a lower frequency wavelength. This is called a ______ effect
5.
As a star move closer to Earth, we see a higher frequency wavelength. This is called a _____ effect.
6.
This is a form of energy that is released in the core of a Star; when a smaller element combines to make a larger element
7.
This is a form of every that is released in a nuclear reactor: when a larger element is split into smaller elements.
8.
One infinitely dense point, from which the Universe was theoretically created:
9.
The scientific idea that there was a gigantic explosion and the Universe was not only created but is still gradually expanding outward.
10.
Radiation that has been here since the beginning of time and is the same temperature as was proposed when the Universe was created. Supports the Big Bang Theory
11.
5% of the Universe; Elements such as Helium and Hydrogen, as well as the material that make up planets, asteroids and comets
12.
Matter that is not visible but has a gravitation pull; makes up one fourth of our Universe
13.
70% of our Universe is made of this mysterious force:
14.
A bundle or particle of light/electromagnetic radiation.:
15.
When an ambulance is approaching _________ because the wavelengths are bunched together = higher frequency
16.
When an ambulance is leaving an area ______ because the wavelength is stretching back out= lower frequency
17.
Most galaxies around Earth are REDSHIFTING, which means they are _________:
18.
Our closest galaxy, Andromeda, is BLUESHIFTING which means it is ______________:
