Question

Which of the following sentences does NOT state a property of neutron stars?

A) Neutron stars rotate from 1 to 30 times per second.
B) Neutron stars emit relatively narrow beams of light and other radiation.
C) Neutron stars contain strong gravitational fields but weak magnetic fields.
D) Neutron stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons.

Answer 1

The property of neutron stars that does NOT state a property is that neutron stars contain strong gravitational fields but weak magnetic fields.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that does NOT state a property of neutron stars is option C) Neutron stars contain strong gravitational fields but weak magnetic fields.

Neutron stars actually have

strong magnetic fields

. They are highly magnetized due to the conservation of angular momentum during their formation. These strong magnetic fields lead to the emission of

relatively narrow beams of light and other radiation

, which is stated in option B).
