The diagram below represents the light spectra given off by the same element as observed under two different conditions. Spectrum A was observed when that element was heated in a laboratory. Spectrum B shows the same element as seen in the light from a distant star.
The light spectrum observed from this distant star shows a*
Cosmic background radiation detected from all directions in space provides evidence for the*
What are two pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang Theory?*
Base your answers to questions 14 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The diagram represents a model of the expanding universe.
Identify the name of the event that is inferred by scientists to have occurred when the universe first formed. [1]*
Base your answers to questions 15 on the data table below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The data table lists four constellations in which star clusters are seen from Earth. A star cluster is a group of stars near each other in space. Stars in the same cluster move at the same velocity. The length of the arrows in the table represents the amount of redshift of two wavelengths of visible light emitted by these star clusters.
Describe the evidence shown by the light from these star clusters that indicates that these clusters are moving away from Earth. [1]*
