We see light from a distant galaxy, galaxy “A”, with a redshift of z = 0.017. imagine there is a galaxy “B” that is in the same direction as galaxy "A", but "B" is at a redshift of z = 0.034 as seen from our Galaxy. What if the astronomers in galaxy “B” were observing galaxy “A”.... What wavelengths would they observe for these same Hydrogen transitions in galaxy “A”?

- The range of the nuclear strong force is believed to be about 1.2 x 10-15 m. An early theory of nuclear physics proposed that the particle that “mediates” the strong force (similar to the photon mediating the electromagnetic force) is the pion. Assume that the pion moves at the speed of light in the nucleus, and calculate the time ∆t it takes to travel between nucleons. Assume that the distance between nucleons is also about 1.2 x 10-15 m. Use this time ∆t to calculate the energy ∆E for which energy conservation is violated during the time ∆t. This ∆E has been used to estimate the mass of the pion. What value do you determine for the mass? Compare this value with the measured value of 135 MeV/c2 for the neutral pion.arrow_forwardPlease provide a detailed explanation for the solution.
