the sky, including the Sun, Moon,
planets, and stars.
$200 Question from Vocabulary
What is a spectroscope?
$200 Answer from Vocabulary
An optical instrument that acts like
a prism to separate light into its
basic components.
$300 Question from Vocabulary
What is electromagnetic radiation?
$300 Answer from Vocabulary
Energy that is carried, or radiated,
in the form of waves that range in
length from short to long.
$400 Question from Vocabulary
What is a spectrum?
$400 Answer from Vocabulary
The band of rainbow colours
created when white light passes
through a prism.
$500 Question from Vocabulary
What is a red shift?
$500 Answer from Edwin Hubble
A shifting of light from an object
toward the red end of the
spectrum as the object moves
away from Earth.
$100 Question from Edwin Hubble
What was Edwin Hubble’s first
discovery?
$100 Answer from H2
Edwin Hubble discovered that there are
other galaxies outside of the Milky
Way
$200 Question from Edwin Hubble
What was Edwin Hubble’s most
astonishing discovery?
$200 Answer from Edwin Hubble
He discovered that all the galaxies
were moving away from each other.
$300 Question from Edwin Hubble
By 1929, how many galaxies had
Edwin Hubble estimated the
distance from them to Earth?
$300 Answer from Edwin Hubble
46 galaxies.
$400 Question from Edwin Hubble
What was Edwin Hubble’s proposal?
$400 Answer from Edwin Hubble
Hubble proposed that the universe
is expanding in all directions.
$500 Question from Edwin Hubble
What did Edwin Hubble discover
about the speed at which galaxies
outside of the Milky Way move?
$500 Answer from Edwin
Hubble
He discovered that galaxies
farther away from the Milky Way
moved faster compared to the
galaxies that were closer.
$100 Question from Big Bang Theory
What is the Big Bang Theory?
$100 Answer from Big Bang Theory
The theory that proposes that the
universe formed approximately 13.7
billion years ago when an
unimaginable tiny volume of space
suddenly and rapidly expanded to
immense size.
$200 Question from Big Bang Theory
Who was the first to describe the
Big Bang Theory?
$200 Answer from Big Bang Theory
It was first described by Belgian
priest and physicist Georges
Lemaître.
$300 Question from Big Bang Theory
What was the piece of evidence that
supported the Big Bang Theory that
was discovered by Arno Penzias and
Robert Wilson?
$300 Answer from Big Bang Theory
They discovered cosmic background
radiation which is radiation left over
from the Big Bang expansion.
$400 Question from Big Bang Theory
What did scientists do with the data
gathered by the Cosmic Background
Explorer satellite?
$400 Answer from Big Bang Theory
Scientists mapped the cosmic background
data, creating a “baby picture” of the
universe early in its development.
$500 Question from Big Bang Theory
What do the colours on this map represent
about the density of the universe?
$500 Answer from Big Bang Theory
Blue shows the slightly denser regions
of the early universe and red shows the
less dense regions that became emptier
as the universe expanded
$100 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What are waves that transfer or carry
electromagnetic radiation?
$100 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
Electromagnetic waves.
$200 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What is a red shift?
$200 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
A red shift is a shifting of light from
an object toward the red end of the
spectrum as the object moves away
from Earth.
$300 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What is the difference between
spectral patterns and spectral
lines?
$300 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
Spectral patterns refer to the placement
of spectral lines on a spectrum.
Spectral lines are lines created by the
elements of a star that help us identify
them.
$400 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What is a cosmological red shift?
$400 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
Wavelengths of radiated light that
are being constantly stretched as
the light crosses the expanding
Universe.
$500 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What are the seven types of
electromagnetic radiation on the
electromagnetic spectrum?
$500 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
The seven types are radio waves,
microwaves, infrared radiation,
visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X
rays, and gamma rays.
