The vast majority of pulsars are known only from their pulses in:
A)X-rays.
B)gamma rays.
C)visible light.
D)microwaves.
E)radio waves.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is E because pulsars are typically detected and studied through their emission of radio waves, making them most commonly known from their pulses in the radio frequency range. However, some pulsars can also emit in other wavelengths such as X-rays and gamma rays, but those are less common detections. Visible light and microwaves are not typically used for detecting and studying pulsars. The vast majority of pulsars are observed through their strong, regular pulses in radio waves.
