Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?

Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.

Is gamma radiation a high energy electrons?
No. It is electromagnetic radiation, beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum.
The visible color of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength is?
violet
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
In what way is ultraviolent light and visible light similar?
Visible light would be the light that is visible to our eyes in the spectrum, it goes in sequence: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The colors beyond red and violet are not visible to our eyes. Colors beyond red are known as Infrared, and colors beyond violet are known as ultraviolet.
What is the only way that energy from the sun can travel to the earth?
By radiation, mostly infra red, visible, and ultra violet EM radiation
Is gamma radiation a high energy electrons?
No. It is electromagnetic radiation, beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum.
The visible color of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength is?
violet
What is visible electromagnetic radiation?
The visible spectrum between red and violet.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Is ultraviolet radiation visible or invisible?
By definition, ultra-violet light is outside the visible spectrum of EM radiation. Thus it is defined as invisible.
Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?
Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.
What colors are beyond the ends of the rainbow?
A purely scientific answer is that there are no more colours beyond what you see in a rainbow. The rainbow constitutes the visible spectrum, meaning that it is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye as light. Beyond the red 'end' of the spectrum is Infra Red Radiation and beyond the violet 'end' is Ultra-Violet and beyond that X-rays. There is a Wikipedia article about the electromagnetic spectrum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

The colors beyond red and violet are not visible to our eyes. Colors beyond red are known as Infrared, and colors beyond violet are known as ultraviolet.
What type of radiation is between ultra violet and infa red?
Visible light
Can Humans can perceive ultraviolet light with their eyes?
No. By definition, "ultraviolet" is that which is beyond the visible light - more specifically, beyond the violet part of visible light.
What are the three types of radiation you get from the sun?
Ultra violet Infrared Visible light.....i think
Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
Yes, it does. UV-C wavelength is 200-280 nanometers, UV-B is 280-320 nm, and UV-A is 320-400nm.
