🌌 BOSS FIGHT QUIZ
Hubble's Law & Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Topic: 6.2.8 - The Universe (IGCSE Physics 0625)
Total Questions: 15 (5 MCQ + 5 Structured + 5 Practical)
Time Guideline: 60 minutes
📝 SECTION A: PAPER 2 (Multiple Choice)
Choose the BEST answer for each question. Each question is worth 1 mark.
Question 1: What is the standard value for the Hubble constant (H₀)?
Question 2: What does 1/H₀ represent?
Question 3: What is Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR)?
Question 4: A galaxy is moving away from Earth at 4.4 × 10⁶ m/s and is 2.0 × 10²⁴ m away. What is H₀?
Question 5: Why has CMBR shifted to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum?
⚠️ EXAMINER'S TRAPS TO AVOID:
- 1.Units of H₀: Always show H₀ = v/d = (m/s)/m = s⁻¹. Don't forget the reciprocal unit!
- 2.CMBR Origin: Say "produced shortly after the Big Bang" AND "wavelength stretched by expansion" - both parts needed!
- 3.Graph Gradients: Don't forget to convert from "cm/cm" to real units using the axis scales!
- 4.Age of Universe: Use 1/H₀, not H₀ itself. Common mistake to forget the reciprocal.
- 5.Standard Candles: Type Ia supernovae are used because they have KNOWN absolute brightness - say this explicitly!
