Observations of neutrinos emitted by the supernova SN1987a place an upper limit of 20 eV on the rest energy of the electron neutrino. If the rest energy of the electron neutrino were, in fact, 20 eV, what would be the speed difference between light and a 1.5 MeV electron neutrino?
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?
A galaxy moving away from the earth has a speed of 0.0100c . What wavelength do we observe for an ni = 7 to nf = 2 transition for hydrogen in that galaxy?
