Hubble

DEFINITION 10 Doppler EffectGalaxies are moving apart (away)

Doppler Effect

apparent change in frequency between a moving object and the observer TERM 17

Doppler Effect Red Shift

DEFINITION 17 Red Shift object is moving away, the wavelengths increases, frequency decreases. TERM 18

Doppler Effect Blue Shift

DEFINITION 18 lue Shift object is moving toward wavelengths decrease, frequency increases. TERM 19

Matter and Antimatter

DEFINITION 19 total annihilation they create energy TERM 20

Nuclear Fusion

DEFINITION 20 when 2 separate atomic nuclei become 1 strong nuclear force, only happens in stars as a result stars release photons (light)

Parts of an Atom

Quarks makes up hadrons Protons - hadrons Neutrons- hadrons Electrons (same size as quarks) TERM 22

Ions

DEFINITION 22 Ions an atom that varies in the number of electrons Anion negative charge, more electrons than typical Cation positive charge, few electrons than typical TERM 23

Isotapes

DEFINITION 23 Isotopes atoms that varies in neutrons (weak nuclear force breaks down neutrons and causes radioactive decay) TERM 24

Element

DEFINITION 24 Element identify based on the number of protons Change the number of protons makes a new element only possible through nuclear fusion TERM 25

Atom

DEFINITION 25 Atoms smallest unit of an element
