How does the light from active galaxies differ from that of a normal galaxy?

What will be an ideal response?


Light from a normal galaxy peaks in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is primarily stellar in nature. The light from an active galaxy peaks either at longer or shorter wavelengths than the visible and is primarily nonstellar in nature.

Wire is wound on a square frame, 30 cm by 30 cm, to form a coil of 7 turns. The frame is mounted on a horizontal shaft through its center (perpendicular to the plane of the diagram), as shown in the figure

The coil is in clockwise rotation, with a period of 0.060 s. A uniform, horizontal, magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T is present. At a given instant, the plane of the coil forms a 60° angle with the horizontal, as shown. At that instant, what is the magnitude of the emf induced in the coil? A) 13 V B) 23 V C) 2.1 V D) 3.6 V E) 26 V
