Objectives: Name all forms of "light" and
arrange them on the spectrum from the longest
wavelengths to the shortest. Then explain which has the most energy and how you know.
Announcements: All work by tomorrow
Bring a cereal box
Opening Data: Electromagnetic Spectrum
Visible spectrum & application to astronomy
The rest of the spectrum & how color works
Questions: Let's go over answers...
1. Explain the difference between a type I supernova and a type II
supernova
2. How does gravity warp space-time? Include some sketches that explain
these ideas.
3. Describe & draw (if possible) and label a blackhole including the
accretion disk,
the event horizon and any other terms you come across in your research.
4. What masses of stars eventually become white dwarf stars, what masses
make blackholes
and which become supernovae?
5. What will the sun become in various stages of it's life?
6. Why can't we send a probe into a blackhole to discover more about
them?
