The James Webb Space Telescope



a)the EM radiation range targeted by the following telescopes (there may be more than one)
The James Webb Space telescope will be sensitive to light from 0.6 to 27 micrometers in wavelength.

b) a picture generated by this telescope (or, if it is a prototype, a schematic of the design)

c) how old the light coming into the telescope is, in light years or light minutes
up to 10 billion light years

d) if the telescope uses mirrors, CCDs, lenses, or a combination of all.
uses a segmented primary mirror,also uses a beryllium mirror

Escaping the Sun

1. we didnt see a relationship between the number of layers and the amount of interactions.
2.we found the data was more accurate in the 2nd simmulation because it used a larger # of photons aand when you used larger numbers your data is bound to be more accurate
3.as energy increases the wave length decreases. as the energy increases the number of photons detected some what decreased compared to the number of photons detected when the energy was closer to 2

Steller Spectra

1. absorbtion spectra
2. close, when you are closer to things they appear to move more then objects far away form you.
3. time and brightness
4. the core
5. magnitude ia baSED on distances and how bright a star is, and intensity is how intense the light is that is given off.

Annie Cannon

When i grow up i would like to pursue either basketball or football, they both play a huge role in my life and i love to play them. I want to graduate and go to college and deside what i want to do from there on.

Electromagnetic Radiation

without CAT scans in todays world they would not be able to find Brain tumors or things that are inside the body.

DATA is missing

Powell, I am missing posts. I'll start over on this one. Sorry about that.
