The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation and primordial helium gas was scientific evidence supporting what theory?
The 'big bang' theory.
This theory lost its appeal when astronomers discovered quasars and cosmic background radiation?
In Cosmic Physics for $1000, Alex, "What is the Steady State Universe?"
Is cosmic rays a type of light?
Technically, "cosmic rays" are high-energy particles rather than electromagnetic radiation. So no, they are not a type of light.
Which statements are true regarding the scientific evidence supporting the big bang theory?
Researchers found the "cosmic microwave background radiation", which is a heat imprint left over from the big bang. The redshift of light emitted by most galaxies indicates the universe is expanding.
What are two pieces of evidence of the big bang and that the universe is expanding?
1) Red shift seen in all distant galaxies, whose size is propotional to the galaxy's distance from us. 2) Existence, isotropy, and spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
Did the Hubble discovery come before cosmic background radiation?
Yes
What caused the cosmic radiation background?
The big bang caused the background radiation.
Why the cosmic background adiation was an important discovery?
It helped prove the big bang theory.
Which theory of the universe did the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation support?
I didn't check the year... But the cosmic background radiation is said to support the big bang theory, because it agrees with the radiation that is expected from an expanding Universe.
The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation and primordial helium gas was scientific evidence supporting what theory?
The 'big bang' theory.
What is the leftover thermal energy from the big bang?
The radiation left over from the big bang is found in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. As the universe expanded and cooled, the intense hard gamma radiation that existed became radio waves in the low gigahertz region, characteristic of a temperature around 30 Kelvin.
What does the uniformity of cosmic radiation imply about its source?
The source of cosmic background radiation filled the entire universe.
Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
What are the weaknesses of cosmic background radiation?
the weakness of cosmic back ground radiation as those radiation are left over of big bangs
What is primordial background radiation?
Primordial background radiation is in actuality Cosmic Microwave Background. To discover just what Cosmic Microwave Background theories are, visit the URL posted below:http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CMB.html
The heat left over from the beginning of the universe is?
cosmic microwave background radiation.
What is this cosmic background radiation?
radiationsThe big bang
