However, results of theexperiment gave the same value for the speed of light.B. Well known for his three laws of motion. His laws of motion describe how massive objectmoves and interact. His idea became the foundation of Modern Physics.C. Established the principle of interference of light. He demonstrated the wave nature of light.This is contrary to the long held belief that light is made up of particles called corpuscles.D. Introduced the concept of reference frames. According to him there is no absolute velocity.Measurement of velocity depends on the reference frame from which it was measured.E. He was famous for his equations that unified electricity and magnetism. In hiselectromagnetic wave theory, he concluded that light is an electromagnetic wave.

There is still some uncertainty in the Hubble constant. (a) Current estimates range from about 19.9 km/s per million light-years to 23 km/s per million light-years. Assume that the Hubble constant has been constant since the Big Bang. What is the possible range in the ages of the universe? Use the equation in the text, T0=1H , and make sure you use consistent units. (b) Twenty years ago, estimates for the Hubble constant ranged from 50 to 100 km/s per Mps. What are the possible ages for the universe from those values? Can you rule out some of these possibilities on the basis of other evidence?
Lacking direct evidence of WIMPs as dark matter, why must we eliminate all other possible explanations based on the known forms of mailer before we invoke their existence?
Continuing the thinking in the last three exercises, convert this energy to an equivalent in mass, use Einstein’s equation E=mc2 . Hint: Divide the energy per m3 calculated in Exercise 29.27 by the speed of light squared. Check your units; you should have an answer in kg/m3. Now compare this answer with the critical density. Your answer should be several powers of 10 smaller than the critical density. In other words, you have found for yourself that the contribution of the CMB photons to the overall density of the universe is much, much smaller than the contribution made by stars and galaxies.
(a) Calculate The approximate age of the universe from the average value of the Hubble constant, To do this, calculate the time it would take to travel 1 Mly at a constant expansion rate of 20 km/s. (b) If deceleration is taken into account, would the actual age of the universe be greater or less than that found here? Explain.
