Space exploration - Topics 2 and 3
Across
- 2. Spectrum produced when you heat a solid, liquid or gas and the light passes through a cooler gas (dark lines between colors)
- 5. Device that produces a focussed spectrum
- 9. Dark or bright lines observed in the spectra of stars
- 13. Shorter wavelength part of the spectrum
- 14. A __________ diameter objective lens is what increase a telescope's resolving power
- 15. Large lens at the front of the telescope
- 16. Universal gravitation - When no forces act on an object, it will move in a __________ line at a constant speed
- 17. Spectrum produced when you heat a gas at low pressure (bright lines on a black background)
- 20. Universal gravitation - Planets are always ________

- 3. Dutch spectacle maker who invented the telescope in 1608
- 4. Model of the universe that Galileo supported
- 6. Universal gravitation - Force of gravity pulls planets towards the ______
- 7. Effect produced when the frequency of a wave changes as the source of the wave and the observer are moving toward or away from each other (Sheldon)
- 8. Universal gravitation - There is a __________ force between all objects
