Astronomers observe galaxies and categorize them according to four different kinds of shapes: elliptical, spiral, barred-spiral, and irregular. In addition to shape, each of the four different galaxy types can be described by other common characteristics.
Match the following characteristics with their corresponding galaxy type.

a) Round, no disk, very little gas and dust, only old stars
b) Central bulge, flattened disk, spiral arms, gas, dust, young stars.
c) Elongated central structure, flattened disk, spiral arms, gas and dust, young stars.
d) Asymmetric, often with gas, dust, and young stars.

1. Spiral galaxy
2. Irregular galaxy
3. Elliptical galaxy
4. Barred-spiral galaxy

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

Adisk with a radius of r is oriented with its normal unit vector at an angle q with respect to a uniform electric field. which of the following would result in an increase in the electric flux through the disk? check all that apply? a. increasing the area of the disk b. decreasing the given orientation angle of the disk c. decreasing the strength of the electric field d. increasing the given orientation angle of the disk, but not exceeding an angle of 90
