Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the biggest telescopes on Earth operate?
radio
How does the sun heat travel to earth?
In the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Why do you use only two types of telescopes here on earth optical or radio telescopes?
Radiation other than light and radio waves hardly penetrates Earth's atmosphere.
What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
What kinds of technology are used to observe stars today?
A wide variety of telescopes that are sensitive to different bands of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays) and subatomic particles (e.g. neutrinos, muons, cosmic rays). Most of these telescopes are on the surface of the earth, but some are on artificial satellites because the earth's atmosphere blocks those bands of electromagnetic radiation, and neutrino telescopes are buried in deep salt mines to shield the detectors from undesired radiation that would cause false detections.
In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the biggest telescopes on Earth operate?
radio
Why can infrared telescopes operate from high flying aircraft and high mountain tops whereas Xray telescopes must be place in orbit?
Current telescopes detect different wavelengths of "light," which, in general, is called electromagnetic radiation. Earth's atmosphere is transparent to infrared radiation - it can easily transmit though our atmosphere. Therefore we can easily detect it from within Earth's atmosphere. However, X-Rays do not easily transmit through the Earth's atmosphere, so we must place our X-Ray detectors OUTSIDE of our atmosphere, ie. in orbit around the earth.
how does the energy from space the sun travel through space to the earth?
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.
What is The Energy From The Sun To Earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
What is the main type of Electromagnetic radiation that makes up the solar radiation that reaches earth?
Well techinichally it is just a radiation that comes from the sun and the readiation is a electromagnetic field
