Where does the energy of a pulsar came from?

The energy of a pulsar comes from its rotation as it slows down, converting rotational energy into radiation and particle acceleration. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars, and as they slow down over time, they emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of beams that sweep across our line of sight.


What type of energy does sun emit?

solar energy.


What appears to emit pulses of radio waves?

it is a (n) pulsar


Do pulsar emit pulses of x-rays?

yes, some do.


Why don't pulsars emit pulses of visible light?

Pulsars emit pulses of radio waves because their strong magnetic fields accelerate charged particles, causing them to emit these waves. The energy distribution of the particles in a pulsar's magnetosphere favors radio waves over visible light.


What is a neutron star that sends out radio waves?

That would be called a "pulsar". See related question


Why do pulsars beep?

Pulsars rotate like most stars. Pulsars also emit beams of energy which, if they cross our path are perceived as pulses of energy with a regular rate (ticks, beeps, etc). This is called the lighthouse effect. Picture a lighthouse -- the lighthouse itself is the pulsar, and the beam of light is like the pulsar's beam.


Which is an example of gravitational potential energy i s a task?

An example of gravitational potential energy is the X-ray energy given off by X-ray pulsars. In this type of pulsar, gas and other matter in the accretion disk around the neutron star is ionized and falls along the magnetic field lines towards the poles of the pulsar. The gravitational potential energy is so high that the spots where the in-falling matter impacts the neutron star are hot enough to emit strong X-ray radiation.


What type of energy do objects in space emit?

Stars, satellites, and something else


A neutron star that rotates rapidly and emits light?

It's called a pulsar. However - ALL young neutron stars emit the said beam. It's only if that beam is detectable on Earth is it called a pulsar. So a Neutron Star and a Pulsar are the same thing. See related questions. but then again they are different.


What is the meaning of pulsar?

radiate energy


What type of wave do humans emit?

Humans emit heat waves in the form of infrared radiation. This radiation is a type of electromagnetic wave that is given off by our bodies as heat energy.
