  B) Gravity makes galaxies spin.
  C) Gravity makes the dense regions denser.
  D) Gravity slows down photons so they collect into galaxies.

Question 2

The resolution of a 10-meter telescope is about 0.01 arcsecond for visible light. Would you expect the angular resolution of a 10-meter radio telescope to be better than, equal to, or worse than 0.01 arcsecond? Explain.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

It would be worse than 0.01 arcsecond because radio waves have much longer wavelength than visible light, and hence poorer angular resolution for the same size telescope.

About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
