Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.

What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes
What are ultraviolet telescopes used for?
those are kinds of telescope!:)
What Layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?
DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH A CONVENTIONAL TELESCOPE. Doing so can cause massive eye damage and blindness. Theoretically only the photosphere would be visible anyway.Scientists can use special telescopes (such as ultraviolet telescopes) to see other parts of the sun (such as the corona).
What are light telescopes?
Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.
Which layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?
The photosphere can be seen with visible-light telescopes, while the chromosphere is most easily observed with ultraviolet telescopes and the corona with X-ray telescopes.
Why are near infrared telescopes located on mountaintops and ultraviolet telescopes in Earth orbit?
The primary infrared blocker, water vapor, is mostly in the lower atmosphere and the primary ultraviolet blocker, ozone, is located high in the atmosphere, far above mountaintops.
What instrument to astronomers use?
They use telescopes, but different types of telescopes. There are telescopes for radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays, all depending on what it is you're trying to see.
Which of this telescopes does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Also, ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
How do ultraviolet telescopes rays help your teeth and bones?
it gives you rays that help your bones and teeth grow
How do ultraviolet telescopes work?
X-ray telescopes collect the X-rays that are emitted from the sun, stars, and super novas in space using a series of curved lenses and an electronic eye.
What animal see ultraviolet rays?
Bees can see ultraviolet rays.
What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
