Astronomy 6.IA Review

Why is the light from distant galaxies red-shifted?

• They produce more red light than nearby galaxies
• They are moving away from us
• The longer wavelengths are filtered out more by dust
• They are moving toward us

What law purposed that all the galaxies are accelerating away from each other.

• Pascal's law
• Hubble's law
• Newton's law
• Arcamedie's law

Hubble's Law implies that...

• Redshifts will shorten over time

• The universe is infinitely old and large

• The universe has a beginning and end and a finite age

• The Milky Way is in the middle of expansion

The Big Bang is...

• an enormous explosion

• The event that caused the universe to begin expanding

• The creation of the universe's matter

• None of the above

Why do astronomers think the universe is expanding?

• something is moving away from us

• something is moving toward us

• Galaxies farther away are moving away faster

• The sun is moving away from us

When will the universe stop expanding

• Closed Universe

• Steady State Universe

• Critical Density Universe

• None of the above

When the critical density is greater than one, then:

• The universe is closed

• the universe will expand

• no matter could have ever existed

• there is only dark matter
