6. During the first few minutes after the Big
Bang, the universe was opaque. Light could
not go through it. Why?
4. How does the Cosmic Microwave
Background Radiation (CMBR) mark an
important milestone in the early history of
the universe?
A. All the photons were being absorbed.
A. The CMBR originated as the first visible
light. It marks time when the universe
transitioned from opaque to transparent.
B. There was nothing to produce photons.
C. The photons were attracted to other
particles.
B. The CMBR originated from the initial
force that triggered the Big Bang. It is the
remnant energy from the previous universe.
D. The mix of particles was so dense that
photons could not get through.
7. What determined the temperature, density,
C. The CMBR originated when the first
massive stars in the universe began
exploding as supernovas shortly after the
Big Bang.
and ratio of hydrogen to helium of the
universe soon after the Big Bang?
A. the rate at which the universe expanded
D. The CMBR originated as the first
B. the rate of nuclear fusion in the first stars
microwave radiation. It marks the time the
universe first became energic enough to
produce microwaves.
C. the density of the material the universe was
expanding into
D. the timing of the transition from an opaque
to a transparent universe
5. When did the universe begin?
A. 1 billion years ago
B. 10 million years ago
C. 14 billion years ago
D. 50 billion years ago

8. A classmate named Brandon is arguing that if the universe had expanded more slowly than it did, the
transition from an opaque to a transparent universe would have happened sooner than it actually did.
How would you explain to Brandon, using the formation of the first elements in the universe, that he is
wrong?
