Frage 2
Frage
What are the three main pieces of evidence for the Big Bang Theory?
Antworten
-
We can still hear the explosion with special equipment
-
We can detect radiation left over from the big bang (CMBR)
-
We can tell that all distant galaxies are moving away from us because they are red-shifted
-
We can tell that all distant galaxies are moving closer to us because they are red-shifted
-
Very distant galaxies move faster away from us than closer ones
Frage 3
Frage
The light from distant galaxies appears more blue than it should because the waves emitted have a shorter wavelength due to the doppler effect
Frage 4
Frage
How old is the universe estimated to be?
Antworten
-
13.7 thousand years old
-
13.7 million years old
-
13.7 billion years old
Frage 5
Frage
The further away a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us
Frage 6
Frage
According to the Doppler effect, what happens to sound waves emitted at a constant pitch from a car moving towards you?
Antworten
-
They move more quickly, so their pitch increases
-
Their wavelength increases, so their pitch increases
-
Their frequency increases, so their pitch increases
Frage 7
Frage
What piece of evidence is only explained using the Big Bang Theory?
Frage 8
Frage
What do missing wavelengths/black lines on the spectrum of light wavelengths emitted from a star mean?
Antworten
-
These are the chemical components of dust in space between us and the star absorbing certain light frequencies
-
These are the chemical components of the star absorbing certain light frequencies
-
These form when there are solar flares which interrupt the emission of light from the star
Frage 9
Frage
All elements absorb the same wavelength of light
Frage 10
Frage
The absorption lines on the Spectra of distant galaxies are shifted ______ relative to the sun
