Answer to Problem 1RQ

The radio galaxies are bright at radio wavelength and active galaxies emit all the different wavelengths.

Explanation of Solution

The active galaxies are the galaxies those emitting energy at different wavelengths. These are found after the telescopes probe into its orbits.

Radio galaxies were discovered during the late 1950’s using the large size radio telescopes by the astronomers

The radio galaxies are characterized by the virtue of their brightness at radio wavelength.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the radio galaxies are bright at radio wavelength and active galaxies emit all the different wavelengths.
