Molecular radiation astronomy is a lecture as part of the radiation astronomy department course on the principles of radiation astronomy.

You are free to take this quiz based on molecular radiation astronomy at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the {{principles of radiation astronomy}} template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

This quiz may need up to an hour to take and is equivalent to an hourly.

Enjoy learning by doing!

Quiz

[edit | edit source]

  

1 Complete the text:

A white beam source focused on a sample, upon striking the sample has photons whose energy matches the

gaps

in order to excite the molecules of the sample, while the other photons transmit unaffected and give the sample the

color.

2 True or False, The density distributions of a solid or unit of condensed matter involving more than atoms or molecules is not discrete like a spectral density but continuous.

TRUE
FALSE

3 Which of the following is not a studied characteristic of astrochemistry?

interstellar atoms
interaction of radiation with molecules
nucleosynthesis
organics of interstellar origin
interstellar precursors

TRUE
FALSE

5 The orange band from molecular calcium chloride is observed in the spectra of many stars of what type?

6 True or False, The Earth's atmosphere does not transmit green radiation between 480 and 500 nm in wavelength because of water vapor.

TRUE
FALSE

7 Complete the text:

One of the reasons why detection of

is controversial is that although

(and some other methods like rotational spectroscopy) are good for the identification of simple species with large dipole moments, they are less sensitive to more

molecules, even something relatively small like

.

the local speed of sound
the mean molecular weight
the electron neutrino
the mean particle density
neutrons
