Frage 1
Frage
What does it mean that the universe is homogenous?
Antworten
-
The universe looks the same from every perspective
-
Galaxies are generally distributed evenly throughout the universe
-
All stars in all galaxies have planetary systems just like ours
-
The universe has looked the same at all times in its history
Frage 2
Frage
What do astronomers mean when they say that the universe is isotropic?
Antworten
-
More distant parts of the universe look just like nearby parts
-
Intergalactic gas has the same density everywhere in the universe
-
The laws of physics apply everywhere in the universe
-
The universe is the same in every direction
Frage 3
Frage
Cosmological redshifts are calculated from observations of spectral lines from
Antworten
-
individual stars in different galaxies
-
clouds of dust and gas in different galaxies
-
spectra of entire galaxies
-
rotations of the disks of distant galaxies
Frage 4
Frage
Astronomers observe that all galaxies are moving away from the Milky Way. According to the cosmological principle, this observation suggests that
Antworten
-
the Milky Way is at the center of the universe
-
the Milky Way must be at the center of the expansion
-
the Big Bang occurred at the current location of the Milky Way
-
an observer in a distant galaxy would make the same observation
Frage 5
Frage
Some galaxies have redshifts (z) that if equated to Vr/c correspond to velocities greater than the speed of light. Special relativity is not violated
Antworten
-
because of relativistic beaming
-
because it's a trick of the measurement angle
-
because redshifts carry no information
-
because those velocities do not measure motion through space
Frage 6
Frage
The Big Bang theory predicted
Antworten
-
the Hubble law
-
the cosmic microwave background radiation
-
the cosmological principle
-
the abundance of helium
-
the period-luminosity relationship of Cepheid variables
Frage 7
Frage
The simplest way to estimate the age of the universe is from
Antworten
-
using the slope of Hubble's Law
-
the age of Moon rocks
-
models of stellar evolution
-
measurements of the abundances of elements
Frage 8
Frage
The CMB includes information about
Antworten
-
the age of the universe
-
the temperature of the early universe
-
the density of the early universe
-
density fluctuations in the early universe
-
the motion of Earth around the center of the Milky Way
Frage 9
Frage
Repeated measurements showing that the current helium abundance is much less than the value predicted by the Big Bang would imply that
Antworten
-
some part of the Big Bang theory is incorrect or incomplete
-
the current helium abundance is wrong
-
scientists don't know how to measure helium abundances
Frage 10
Frage
If the density of the universe is higher than the critical density, the universe will
Antworten
-
expand forever
-
expand, but gradually slow down
-
eventually collapse
-
neither expand nor contract
Frage 11
Frage
Dark energy has been hypothesized to solve which problem?
Antworten
-
the universe is expanding
-
the cosmic microwave background radiation is too smooth
-
the expansion of the universe is accelerating
-
stars orbit the centers of galaxies too fast
Frage 12
Frage
What problems of cosmology does inflation solve?
Antworten
-
flatness
-
horizon
-
fluctuation
-
sphere
Frage 13

Antworten
-
fewer
-
more
-
higher
-
lower
Frage 14
Frage
We expect the kinds of galaxies that we see at a redshift of z = 4 to be:
Antworten
-
much like we see today
-
smaller and much more irregular looking than today
-
far more numerous but with more spiral galaxies
-
larger versions of what we see today
