What is the observed wavelength ofthe 656.3nm(first Balmer) line of hydrogen emitted by a galaxy at a distance of 2.40108ly? Assume that the Doppler shift of Eq. 37-36 and Hubble鈥檚 law apply.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, the value of wavelength is 668 mm.

Step by step solution

01

Frequency and wavelength expression.

Letfrepresent the frequency detected by an observer moving with velocityvrelative to that rest frame. Then, when the direction of vis directly away from the source.

Then the expression for the observed frequency is given by,

f=f011+

The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency(f-1)(f-1)

. Thus,

=01+1鈥︹ (i)

The universe is expanding, with the distant galaxies moving away from us at a ratev is given by Hubble鈥檚 law as,

v=Hr

HereH is Hubble鈥檚 constant whose value is equal to,0.0218鈥尘/蝉鈥塴测,ris the distance to the galaxy and vis the recessional speed.

As, v=c

=Hrc鈥︹ (ii)

02

Evaluate the wavelength. 

Substitute the values into the equation (ii)

=(0.0218)(2.40108)2.998108=0.017452

Substitute 656.3鈥塶尘for oand0.017452forinto the equation (i)

=656.31+0.0174521-0.017452=668鈥塶mwidth="192">=656.31+0.0174521-0.017452=668鈥塶m

Hence, the value of wavelength is 668 mm.

A particle game.Figure 44-13 is a sketch of the tracks made by particles in a fictionalcloud chamber experiment (with a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the page), and Table 44-6 gives fictionalquantum numbers associated with the particles making the tracks. Particle A entered the chamber at the lower left, leaving track and decaying into three particles. Then the particle creating track 1 decayed into three other particles, and the particle creating track 6 decayed into two other particles, one of which was electrically uncharged鈥攖he path of that uncharged particle is represented by the dashed straight line because, being electrically neutral, it would not actually leave a track in a cloud chamber. The particle that created track is known to have a seriousness quantum number of zero.

By conserving the fictional quantum numbers at each decay point and by noting the directions of curvature of the tracks, identify which particle goes with track (a) 1, (b) 2, (c) 3, (d) 4, (e) 5, (f) 6, (g) 7, (h) 8, and (i) 9. One of the listed particles is not formed; the others appear only once each.

Consider the neutrino whose symbol is . (a) Is it a quark, a

lepton, a meson, or a baryon? (b) Is it a particle or an antiparticle? (c) Is it a boson or a fermion? (d) Is it stable against spontaneous decay?

A positively charged pion decays by Eq. 44-7 : +++

What must be the decay scheme of the negatively charged pion?

(Hint:The is the antiparticle of the +)

(a) A stationary particle 1 decays into particles 2 and 3, which move off with equal but oppositely directed momenta. Show that the kinetic energy K2 of particle 2 is given by

K2=12E2[E1-E22-E32]

Where, E1,E2,and E3are the rest energies of the particles.

(b) A stationary positive point +(rest energy 139.6 MeV) can decay to an antimuon +(rest energy 105.7 MeV) and a neutrino

(rest energy approximately 0). What is the resulting kinetic energy of the antimuon?

Will the universe continue to expand forever? To attack this question, assume that the theory of dark energy is in error and that the recessional speedv of a galaxy a distancer from us is determined only by the gravitational interaction of the matter that lies inside a sphere of radiusr centered on us. If the total mass inside this sphere inM,the escape speed vefrom the sphere is ve=2GM/r(Eq.13.28).(a) Show that to prevent unlimited expansion, the average density inside the sphere must be at least equal to

.=3H28G

(b) Evaluate this 鈥渃ritical density鈥 numerically; express your answer in terms of hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. Measurements of the actual density are difficult and are complicated by the presence of dark matter
