question 90

Multiple Choice

Evidence that the cosmic background radiation really is the remnant of a Big Bang comes from predicting characteristics of remnant radiation from the Big Bang and comparing these predictions with observations.Four of the five statements below are real.Which one is fictitious?

• A)The cosmic background radiation is expected to have a temperature just a few degrees above absolute zero,and its actual temperature turns out to be about 3 K (actually 2.7 K).
• B)The cosmic background radiation is expected to have a perfect thermal spectrum,and observations from the COBE spacecraft verify this prediction.
• C)The cosmic background radiation is expected to contain spectral lines of hydrogen and helium,and it does.
• D)The cosmic background radiation is expected to look essentially the same in all directions,and it does.
• E)The cosmic background radiation is expected to have tiny temperature fluctuations at the level of about 1 part in 100,000.Such fluctuations were found in the COBE data.
