We see light from a distant galaxy, galaxy “A”, with a redshift of z = 0.017. imagine there is a galaxy “B” that is in the same direction as galaxy "A", but "B" is at a redshift of z = 0.034 as seen from our Galaxy. What if the astronomers in galaxy “B” were observing galaxy “A”.... What wavelengths would they observe for these same Hydrogen transitions in galaxy “A”? (Hint: You should not have to do any calculations to answer this question, but please explain your answer carefully.)
OV
proton

+270 V
A proton is placed between the plates in the figure above. Explain quantitatively
why, when predicting the motion of the proton between the plates, the
gravitational field is not taken into consideration.
Edwin Hubble observed that the light from very distant galaxies was redshifted and that the farther away a galaxy was, the greater its redshift. What does this say about very distant galaxies?
When Hubble first estimated the Hubble constant, galaxy distances were still very uncertain, and he got a value for H of about 600 km/s per Mpc. What would this have implied about the age of the universe?
What problems would this have presented for cosmologists?
