A Geiger counter can be used to detect what in a mineral?
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.
Is a telescope on a satellite made to detect x-rays?
Some of them are. Also, to detect other radiation that doesn't reach Earth, or hardly reaches it - like infrared for example.Some of them are.

Why did human eyes evolve to detect visible light?
Because the people whose eyes could not detect visible light didn't surviveto have children. They were completely outclassed, outhunted, and outfoughtby the people whose eyes could detect it.
How are solar flares detected?
by special instruments that detect radiation signatures
What radiation energy can your eyes detect?
No
What form of radiation do we sense or detect as heat?
The sunshine
What radiations can humans see?
We detect electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies that we call "visible light" with our eyes. We can feel a broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we call "heat". (There are some overlaps.) We can build tools that detect ANY frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and display that in any format we select.
Which type of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by your body?
Our bodies can detect the heat from infra-red light, and will convert some micro-waves directly into heat. Our eyes can (by definition) detect visible light. Our bodies do not detect any EM radiation more energetic than visible until after that radiation has done damage to our bodies. That's why we get a tan from UV light, burns from x-rays, and radiation poisoning from gamma rays.
What is another word for light waves?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation. "Light," however, generally refers to that portion of the EM spectrum that our eyes can detect.
How it detects radiation?
The answer depends on what "IT" is and what sort of radiation it is meant to detect!
What is the purpose of compound eyes for grasshoppers?
Compound eyes detect motion, and simple eyes detect light. or The compound eyes are used to "see". The simple eyes are used to detect light intensity.
Are photons difficult to detect?
Generally, photons are very easy to detect. Your eyes do a good job of detecting photons within a certain frequency band, as photons constitute light and other electromagnetic radiation. Individual photons are impossible to detect with modern technology.
Which of you senses can detect radiation?
none of your senses can detect radioactivity by themselves
