Q.2.
What is the Doppler effect?
25%
The Doppler effect is the change in the observed wavelength and frequency of a source which is stationary relative to an observer
50%
The Doppler effect is the change in the observed wavelength and frequency of a source which is moving relative to an observer
25%
The Doppler effect is the change only in the observed wavelength of a source which is stationary relative to an observer
0%
The Doppler effect is the change only in the observed frequency of a source which is stationary relative to an observer
Q.3.
It can be observed that there is an increase in the wavelength of light received from distant galaxies. The further away the galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us and the larger the observed increase in wavelength. What is this effect commonly known as?
100%
Redshift
0%
Blueshift
0%
Whiteshift
0%
Purpleshift
Q.4.
If a police car is traveling away from an observer and its siren is on, how will the wavelength be different to when the car is moving towards the observer?
50%
Shorter
25%
Longer
25%
The same
0%
Impossible to tell
Q.5.
Why does redshift support the idea of the Big Bang theory?
25%
It demonstrates that the Universe is expanding as more distant galaxies are moving away from us
50%
It demonstrates that the Universe is collapsing as more distant galaxies are moving towards us
25%
It does not offer any insight as to whether the theory is true or not
0%
It shows that the Universe in stationary and not expanding or shrinking
Q.6.
Which is the only current theory that explains and accounts for the existence of the C.M.B.R?
