With the help of a diagram, explain the unified scheme for understanding active
galactic nuclei.
Ques. Describe Hubble’s Classification scheme for galaxies.
Questions.Describe the composition of the interstellar medium. Explain how it has been
possible to map the HI clouds.
The mean free path of photons in stars is of the order of 0.2 cm. Show that the time
taken for a photon to reach the surface of a star of radius 4 Ro is of the order of one
million year.
Ques. Derive the expression for the mean temperature in a star:
< T > M^2/3 < P > ^1/3
Derive Jeans criteria for the stability of a gas cloud. A collapsing cloud is made only
of neutral hydrogen (H1). If the temperature of the cloud is 50 K and its number
density is 10^5 m−3, calculate its Jeans mass.
Derive an expression for the tidal force for the earth-moon system and show that its
magnitude depends on the latitude. Explain tidal bulge on the basis of this
expression.
Ques. Explain how sunspots survive for so long even though they are surrounded by hotter
matter.
Explain how we estimate the effective surface temperature of the Sun. A main
sequence star has mass 2 × 10^31 kg and radius 3 × 10^9 m. Obtain an estimate of the
average temperature throughout the star.
