Multiple Select
After the universe starter to cool from a plasma like state, protons and electrons were able to combine. What did they form?
Hydrogen
Helium
Carbon
Sodium
10
11
The Big Bang Model needed to accurately make predictions for it to be considered valid. One prediction based on the model is that the universe should be largely composed of Hydrogen and Helium. This is because of their atomic structure.
12
So why hydrogen and helium?
13
14
Multiple Choice
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe because it is the simplest element. It has...
1 Proton, 1 Electron, No Neutrons
2 Protons, 2 Electrons, and 2 Neutrons
1 Electron, 1 Electron, 1 Neutron
2 Electrons, 2 Electrons, No Neutrons
15
Multiple Choice
What is the ratio of hydrogen to helium?
3:1
1:3
2:4
4:2
16
Multiple Choice
The Big Bang Model accurately predicted the abundance of elements like hydrogen and helium.
True
False
17
Multiple Choice
The abundance of elements is considered a key piece of evidence in supporting The Big Bang Theory.
True
False

19
Multiple Choice
When a star moves away from us, the light it emits in our direction is stretched causing the wavelengths to get longer. This is called
Blue Shift
Red Shift
The Doppler Effect
Cosmic Background Radiation
20
Multiple Choice
Red Shift is one of the key pieces of evidence used to support the universe is
expanding
contracting
exploding
freezing
21
Hubble discovered the relationship between distance and redshift (velocity moving away from earth)
He noticed the more a star was redshifted, the further it was away in distance.
From this relationship, Hubble claimed that the universe must be expanding.
22
Multiple Choice
Red Shift supports the big bang theory because...
the stretching of wavelengths toward the red end of the visible spectra suggests that as light moves across the universe it is experiencing expansion.
the contracting of wavelengths toward the red end of the visible spectra suggests that as light moves across the universe it is experiencing contraction.
23
24
Multiple Choice
What is cosmic microwave background radiation?
leftover light from the big bang
electromagnetic spectrum
gravity
matter
25
Multiple Choice
Cosmic Background Radiation is original light from the big bang that has been expanded beyond the visible spectrum to microwaves. These microwaves can be found everywhere in the universe.
True
False
26
Multiple Choice
The shadows in the Cosmic Background Radiation can give scientists an idea where there are...
giant clumps of matter in the universe (galaxies)
black holes
energy rich spaces
potential other singularities
27
Multiple Select
Cosmic background radiation is a key piece of evidence supporting the big bang because...
scientists were able to use what they understood about red shift to make predictions with the model
scientists found what they predicted would happen
Scientists are infatuated with it because it makes a really cool map
scientists are able to use it now to further inform that the universe may have looked like in the past
