Question

Redshift: A distant quasars has a redshift of z = 4.5. This means that the wavelength of spectral lines from the quasar will be 1 + z = 5 times the wavelength of the same lines as observed in the lab. For example, the 410 nm line of hydrogen will be red-
shifted to a wavelength of 2255 nm.
At what speed is such a quasar moving away from the Earth?

Two distant galaxies are observed to have redshifts z1 = 0.05 and z2 = 0.15, and distances d1 = 220.60 Mpc and d2 = 661.75 Mpc, respectively. Assuming the motion of the galaxies is due to the Hubble flow, determine the value of the Hubble constant, H0. Show how the value of H0 can be used to estimate the age of the Universe, describing any assumptions that you make. Use the value of H0 you have obtained to estimate the age of the Universe, expressing your answer in Gyr.
Find the magnitude and direction of the Lorentz force on an individual charged particle as it moves through a magnetic field. The direction of the velocity is given by the single, blue arrow pointing away from the charge. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the multiple, black arrows.
The mass density of our universe is measured to be about 10-29 kg/m3.

Why does the cosmic microwave background (CMB) shine in low-energy microwave wavelengths? O The trapped photons within the plasma of the earliest universe originally had wavelengths in the microwave band due to rapid inflation O The CMB was originally emitted as high-energy gamma rays and x-rays, but the light has redshifted downward to lower-energy microwaves through time When nuclei of H and He first combined with free electrons to create atoms, photons of light were released as microwaves The photons released in the CMB were intensely hot, with energy levels in microwave wavelengths The early universe 380,000 years after the Big Bang was cold (2.7 kelvins) the temperature of microwave energy
