The main morphological types of galaxies are elliptical, spiral, and irregular.

Based on their morphology , galaxies have been classified into 3 types namely elliptical, spiral, and irregular.

These galaxies have various sizes and shapes ranging from dwarf galaxies to giant galaxies.

Elliptical Galaxy:

The shape of it is generally circular
These are the largest among all the types of galaxies because according to astronomers, it is formed by the merger of other small galaxies.
Their rotational pattern is symmetric.

Spiral Galaxy:

A spiral galaxy consists of a bright nucleus surrounded by a thin outer disk forming a spiral shape.
This type of galaxy is the most common in our universe.
It is divided into three classes: Spiral a, Spiral b, and Spiral c.
Their rotational pattern has circular symmetry.

Irregular Galaxy:

These types of galaxies have no central nucleus and irregular arms which are bluish.
They don’t have any rotational symmetry.

Answer:

The extension is directly proportional to the force applied.

ex: if the force is doubled, the extension doubles. This works until the limit of proportionality is exceeded.

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

$d \sin\theta=n\lambda$ .....(I)

The separation of the slits

$d = \dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{5000}$

$d=2\times10^{-6}\ m$

Now put the value in equation (I)

$2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda$

Here, n = 1

$\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

How does the wavelength of a wave change when frequency decreases? when frequency increases?

Law Incorporation [45]

When the frequency decreases the wavelength is further apart. When it increases its closer together. Think about a flat line when the frequency is low the wavelengths are wider. When its a high frequency the squiggly lines on the moniter are taller and thinner so the wavelengths are not as wide and not that far from each other depending on how high the frequency is.
