After watching the videos and reading the articles, answer the following:

a) Draw lines to match the words with their description

Word Description
EM Radiation When light moves away from us, its wavelength gets longer.
Light with a long wavelength is seen by us as _______
colour.

Red Shift Sound coming from a moving source sounds high pitch
before it passes you, but once it has passed, its pitch changes
from high to low. This is not due to the sound itself
changing, it is due to the source of the sound moving.
COBE map Radiating waves of energy that differ in wavelength,
amplitude and frequency. They do not need a medium to
travel through. Since space is a vacuum, these waves are
ideal for analysing the structures of the universe
Doppler Effect A satellite that measures low energy EM waves like infra-
red and microwaves left over from the beginning of the
universe. The map generated by this satellite shows hot and
dark spots in the universe. Over time, these maps have
shown us that the hot spots are moving apart.

b) Using the Word Bank, fill in the blanks

The COBE maps showed us ______ and ______ spots in the universe moving away from each other.

The Doppler Effect is the change in ______ of a _______ as the source of the _____ moves past a stationary
observer.

Red Shift is a change in ________ of light to _____ as it moves _______ from Earth

____________ radiation is a spectrum of _______ which vary in _________, ____________, and

_____________ which we use to view the leftover radiation from the ____________ of the Universe.
