The elliptical galaxy NGC 4889 is the largest galaxy in the Coma Cluster (shown in the image below taken by the Hubble Space Telescope). After analyzing the spectrum of NGC 4889, an astronomer identifies a spectral line as being CaII (singly ionized Calcium) with a measured wavelength of 401.8 nm. The true, rest wavelength of this spectral line, measured in a lab, is 393.3 nm.
a) What would be this galaxy’s recessional velocity, in km/s?
b) Using a Hubble constant of ?0 = 70 km/s/Mpc, find the distance to this galaxy cluster. Give your answer in megaparsecs and in light-years.
c) How would your answer to part b) differ if the Hubble constant had a smaller value? A larger value? Explain.
Explain why different elements produce different spectral absorption and emission lines.
Calculate the wavelength of a photon that has an energy of 4.96 eV. (Hint: h*c {Planck's constant * the speed of light }= 1240 eV*nm;)
What type of radiation/light (from the electromagnetic spectrum) is the photon from the previous question?
Why is it that radio telescopes need to be so large or organized in arrays?
this is all one question with different parts. Thank you.
Suppose that a detector in the Hubble Space Telescope was capable of detecting visible light in the wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm. (a) List all the wavelengths for the hydrogen atom that are in this range and their series name. (b) The detector measures visible wavelengths of 537.5 nm, 480.1 nm, and 453.4 nm that researchers believe are due to the hydrogen atom. Why are all the known visible hydrogen lines not detected? (c) Use these data to calculate the speed of the stellar object that emitted the spectra. Assume that the object is not rotating. Why might rotation be an issue?
