    9 Astrophysics
    1 C The objective lens has a larger focal length and smaller power than the eyepiece
    lens. [1]
    2 resolving power = 1.22/A = 1.22 × 600 × 10−9/0.4 × 10−2 = 1.83 × 10−4 radians = 0.01°
    [2]
    3 B The radial distance from the centre of a black hole where the escape velocity is
    equal to that of light. [1]
    4 D A star at a distance of less than 10 pc from the Earth has an absolute magnitude
    that is less than its apparent magnitude. [1]
    5 (a) luminosity = σAT4 = 5.67 × 10−8 × 4 ×  × 1020 × 50004 = 4.45 × 1028 W [3]
    (b) temperature (T) = 2.90 × 10−3/550 × 10−9 = 5270 K [2]
    6 (a) = v/c = 650 × 10−9 × 50 × 103/3 × 108 = 0.11 nm [2]
    (b) sinusoidal variation [2]
    7 (a) speed of recession = c/ = 3 × 108 × 0.1 × 10−6/650 × 10−9 = 4.6 × 107 m s−1 [2]
    (b) distance = v/H (by Hubble’s law) = 4.6 × 107/2.31 × 10−18 = 2 × 1025 m
    = 2 × 1025/9.5 × 1015 = 2 × 109 light years [2]
    8 A higher value of the Hubble constant would mean a greater critical density for the
    universe (3H2/8πG). This would suggest a greater amount of dark matter to maintain the
    present state of the observable universe. [3]
