Homework Statement



I am given a model where for an accelerating universe the redshift changes according to the following equations (given in part b). For this model and assuming that H0=70km/s/Mpc, evaluate the change in redshift over 10 years, for a source at z=1 and the change in recession velocity

Homework Equations


rate of change is \frac{dz}{dt}=H0(1+z)-H(z) where H(z) is the Hubble parameter
In this case I am considering a κ=0 universe with no cosmological constant, so H(z)=H0(1+z)3/2

The Attempt at a Solution


I know that the long way would be to take the integral of the \frac{dz}{dt} formula from z=1 to z' over the entire time period. What I am wondering is, because of how minute the change would probably be is it acceptable to approximate this as:
Δz≈t1H0(1+z-((1+z)3/2)) where t1=10 years?

I am asking because when I calculate this I get a negative number for the change in z. Wouldn't this be a blueshift?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
