76 ACTIVITY 34
• Timing from the Big Bang to Today
Now we are at the time when the temperature is 10" K and the density is 10 times that of
water. We watch the universe shrink exponentially (reversing its 10" growth originally), sometime
between 10 and 10-33 seconds after the Big Bang. It is now the Planck era, 10 seconds after
the Big Bang, and the temperature is 10" K and the density is 10% times that of water. The four
fundamental forces are combined under the thcory of everything (TOE). We have arrived at a
time when the conditions of the universe are unknown; our theories are unable to describe it.

the universe were about

(1) Stars can be considered ideal blackbodies. A distant star is observed to emit a spectrum
of light with a peak wavelength of A = 962nm.
(a) What is the temperature of this star?
(b) Thanks to other measurements, we find that it gives off 8.17 x 1030J of energy in a
year. What is the radius of the star? Assume the star is a sphere.
(c) Typically, stars become hotter and larger as they age. Assuming this is true, does
our data indicate that this star is older or younger than our Sun?
(d) What will the speed of an electron need to be in order to have a wavelength equivalent
to the peak wavelength for this star?
