Statement 1 is incorrect: High-energy neutrinos are not produced exclusively within the Milky Way Galaxy. They originate from various cosmic phenomena such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and colliding stars which can occur within and beyond our galaxy. Statement 2 is correct: Cherenkov radiation, a faint light emitted when neutrinos interact with molecules in a medium like water or ice is a key observable phenomenon in neutrino detection. This helps trace the path, energy and source of the neutrino. Statement 3 is incorrect: While underwater telescopes have advantages such as less scattering of light, water absorbs light more than ice which can reduce the amount of light available for analysis.
