The color that represents the brightest radio emission and the color that represents the lowest levels of brightness.

Answer to Problem 1VSC
Solution:
The color that represents the brightest radio emission is white and the color that represents the lowest levels of brightness is black/dark blue.
Explanation of Solution
As the cold, dense molecular clouds are concentrated in a narrow layer near the midplane of the galactic disk, the white color in the middle represents the brightest radio emission.
As we see away from the midplane, there is less concentration of molecular clouds. So, the black/dark blue color represents the lowest levels of brightness.
Conclusion:
The color that represents the brightest radio emission is white and the color that represents the lowest levels of brightness is black/dark blue.

A motorboat traveling 6 m/s, West encounters a water current travelling 3.5 m/s, South. a) Draw a vector diagram showing the resultant velocity, then determine the resultant velocity of the motorboat. b) If the width of the river is 112 m wide, then how much time does it take for the boat to travel shore to shore? c) What distance downstream does the boat reach the opposite shore?arrow_forwardLake Erie contains roughly 4.00⋅10114.00⋅1011 m3 of water. Assume the density of this water is 1000. kg/m3 and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg˚C. It takes 2.31x10^19 J of energy to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.0 °C to 25.8 ˚C. An electric power plant can produce about 1110 MW. How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using the 1110 MW from an electric power plant?arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
