What does a specialized non-optical telescope see?
There are telescopes used to detect radio waves and others to detect infrared radiation.
Telescopes cannot detect?
Telescopes can not detect any radiation for which they were not specifically built. For example, a radio telescope is specifically designed to detect radio waves. Also, telescopes can not detect radiation that is too faint for them. What is too faint depends on the capabilities of the telescope.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
What are light telescopes?
Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.
Does infrared pick up heat?
Yes, infrared radiation can detect heat. Infrared sensors are designed to detect and measure the infrared radiation emitted by objects, including heat emitted by living organisms or warm objects.
What machine did they use to see how cold it is in Pluto?
Astronomers use telescopes that detect only the infrared light from the planet, which is the range of heat being radiated from it. Generally speaking, the less heat radiated, the lower the temperature.
How can you detect the moon?
you look in the sky or use telescopes
Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?
they did it to get more detailed pictures of space
Can Earth-based telescopes can detect all forms of light?
No. Many frequencies of light are absorbed by the atmosphere, and so Earth-based telescopes can't detect it. That's why space telescopes such as the Hubble are so valuable; they allow us to see in frequencies that we cannot detect here on Earth.
Why cant humans detect infrared light?
They can. While human eyes can not "see" infrared light, humans can detect this light as "heat" on the surface of the skin.
Are infrared gas detectors the best way to detect gas leaks?
Yes. Infrared are currently considered to be the best option to detect gas leaks. They use the absorption of infrared radiation at certain wavelengths to detect dangerous levels of toxic and combustible gases.
What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?
There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).
