Question 3 of 5
3. Question
With reference to ‘Radio Galaxies’, consider the following statements
- It is a particular type of active galaxy that emits more light at radio wavelengths than at visible wavelengths
- Radio galaxies are driven by thermal emissions and are much bigger than most of the other galaxies in the universe
Select the INCORRECT statement(s)
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect Radio Galaxies, also known as radio-luminous galaxies or radio-loud galaxies, are a particular type of active galaxy that emits more light at radio wavelengths than at visible wavelengths. These happen through the interaction between charged particles and strong magnetic fields related to supermassive black holes at the galaxies’ center. Radio galaxies are driven by non-thermal emissions. They are much bigger than most of the other galaxies in the universe. There are two broad classes of radio galaxies: Core-halo radio galaxies: They exhibit radio emission from a region concentrated around the nucleus of the galaxy. The region of radio emission is comparable in size to the optically visible galaxy. Lobed radio galaxies: They display great lobes of radio emission extending, in some cases, for millions of light years beyond the optical part of the galaxy. Context – A team of astronomers recently discovered several ‘elusive dying radio galaxies’.
