What is radio astromony?
astronomy using radio waves, rather than visible light. visible light and radio waves are essentially the same, only radio waves have a much longer wavelength. not everything emits light in the visible band, many otherwise invisible objects can only be detected using extreme wavelengths.
What type of light rays are there?
From highest to lowest: Gamma, X-ray, Infrared (heat), Visible (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue), Ultraviolet, Radio. Radio waves are not sound waves but are the light rays that sound is converted into before being sent to your radio and your radio converts these light rays back into sound.
Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?
Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.
Who have longer wavelengths visible light or radio waves?
The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.
Does visible light have a higher frequency then radio waves?
Definitely. The highest radio frequency is around 300 GHz, whereas the lowest visible frequency is around 400,000 GHz.
Can you study visible light using a radio telescope?
No.
Why are radio telescopes not located on top of mountains like the visible light telescopes?
It is not necessary to do so, as atmosphere doesn't distort radio signals as much as visible light.
What color light is emitted by radio waves?
Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
Why can radio telescope can see things that a telescope that detect visible light cant?
-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.
Can you study visible light using a radio telescope explain your answer?
No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.
Which has longer wavelength radio v light?
Radio waves have longer wavelengths than light waves. Radio waves can have wavelengths ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers, while visible light waves have wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers.
