1.6 THE EXPENDING UNIVERSE Flashcards
(13 cards)
The Doppler Effect is
the changed in the observed frequency of the wave, when the source or observer is moving
formular of the doppler effect
fo=fs(v/v +(away) or - (towards) vs
v=speed of wave
Redshift
is the chage in the wavelength devided by emmited wavelength
MOVEMENT OF THE WAVELENGTH
- TOWARD BLUESHIFT WITH LOWER FREQUENCY AND LONGER WAVELENGTH
- AWAY REDSHIFT
Hubble’s Law
Ho=v/d and t=1/Ho
s-1
the age of the universe
13.7billion years
The Origins of the Universe
- ** The Steady State Universe** where the universe had always been and would alwqays continue to be in existance
- The Created Universe(NOW REFERRED TO BIG BANG THEORY
The peak wavelength is shotter
for hotter stars (BLUE)
red is cooler
A HERTZSPRUNG-RUSSELL DIAGRAM
PLOTS THE BRIGHTNESS OR** LUMINOSITY** OF THE STARS
EVIDENCE FOR THE BIG BANG THEORY
- Redshift and Expending Universe
- Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
- Abudance of Hydrogen and Helium
- Olber’s Paradox
THE FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSE
- Closed universe
- Open universe
Dark matter
is the mass of the galaxies
Dark Energy
is the energy which help universe to continue expending
less then weight
