How does Cosmic Background Radiation support the Big Bang Theory?
Low energy radiation is found everywhere in the universe, which could be leftover energy from the Big Bang
The Big Bang released lots of low energy radiation, and now we can see that same energy everywhere
Microwaves are useful in our everyday lives, which proves the Big Bang happened and is useful
Background radiation was discovered by Penzias and Wilson, who were smart scientists
How does the abundance of hydrogen and helium support the Big Bang Theory.
Hydrogen and helium are elements on the Periodic Table
Hydrogen and helium abundance is high compared to heavier elements
Hydrogen and helium have many current uses today
Hydrogen and helium both start with H
Which of the following is evidence for the Big Bang Theory?
fusion
cosmic background radiation
the Andromeda galaxy
the Doppler effect
The universe is expanding! This means that:
all of the galaxies are spreading out.
the universe must have started from a single point.
the universe is cooling down.
the universe is exploding
What is the correct sequence of events according to the Big Bang Theory?
1,2,3,4
3,2,4,1
3,1,4,2
1,3,4,2
What is the best evidence for the Big Bang Theory?
How fast light can travel
The expansion of the Universe
Creation of new planets
Density of the planets
According to the Big Bang Theory, what is happening to the size of the universe?
The universe is growing
The universe is shrinking
The universe is staying the same size
The universe rides on the back of four elephants, supported by a turtle.
What does the Big Bang Theory hypothesize about the size of the early universe?
The universe used to be much much larger than it is today.
The universe used to be a tiny speck of super-dense matter.
The universe has always been the same size
Which statement is true according to Hubble's Law?
The farther away a galaxy is from us, the faster it moves away from us.
The farther away a galaxy is from us, the slower it moves away from us.
The closer a galaxy is to us, the faster it moves away from us.
The more red light we observe from another galaxy, the closer we are to that galaxy
If a galaxy is moving very quickly away from us, the light we receive from that galaxy will be:
more red
more blue
more green
more yellow
