Which conservation law is violated in each of these proposed reactions and decays? (Assume that the products have zero orbital angular momentum.)
An object is fromus and does not have any motion relative to us except for the motion due to the expansion of the universe. If the space between us and it expands according to Hubble’s law, with ,
(a) how much extra distance (meters) will be between us and the object by this time next year and
(b) what is the speed of the object away from us?
Which conservation law is violated in each of these proposed decays? Assume that the initial particle is stationary and the decay products have zero orbital angular momentum.

Question: Due to the presence everywhere of the cosmic background radiation, the minimum possible temperature of a gas in interstellar or intergalactic space is not 0 K but 2.7 K. This implies that a significant fraction of the molecules in space that can be in a low-level excited state may, in fact, be so. Subsequent de-excitation would lead to the emission of radiation that could be detected. Consider a (hypothetical) molecule with just one possible excited state. (a) What would the excitation energy have to be for 25% of the molecules to be in the excited state? (Hint: See Eq. 40-29.) (b) What would be the wavelength of the photon emitted in a transition back to the ground state?
