Astronomy quiz question: telescope funding
Astronomy 210 Quiz 3, Fall Semester 2008
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
[4.0 points.] Based on being able to detect its wavelength, and cost of location, which telescope should be funded?
(A) A gamma ray detector in Antarctica.
(B) An ultraviolet detector in the Mojave desert.
(C) A visible light telescope in the Chilean mountains.
(D) A radio telescope in space.
Correct answer: (C)
Gamma rays and ultraviolet waves cannot be detected at ground level, due to absorption of these wavelengths by the atmosphere. A visible light telescope on a mountain would be able to detect signals at much less cost than a radio telescope in space.

(C) A near-infrared telescope on an aircraft.
(D) A radio telescope in space.
Correct answer: (C)
Gamma rays and ultraviolet waves cannot be detected at ground level, due to absorption of these wavelengths by the atmosphere. A near-infrared telescope on an aircraft would be able to detect signals at much less cost than a radio telescope in space.

Astronomy clicker question: most dangerous photon
Astronomy 10, Spring Semester 2008
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
Astronomy 10 learning goal M1.1
Students were asked the following clicker question (Classroom Performance System, einstruction.com) at the beginning of their learning cycle:
[0.3 points.] Which type of light ("electromagnetic radiation") particle is the most dangerous to be exposed to?
(A) A gamma ray photon.
(B) An x-ray photon.
(C) A microwave photon.
(D) (Each of these light particles (A)-(C) are equally dangerous.)
Correct answer: (A)
The energy of a photon is inversely dependent on wavelength; the gamma ray photon is the shortest wavelength of these photons, while the microwave photon has the longest wavelength. Many students explain picking gamma ray photons because of the origins of the Incredible Hulk. There may still be a concern with long-exposure to microwave photons, even though they contain the least amount of energy per particle, due to the number of photons involved.
