What kind of electromagnetic radiation does the Hubble Space Telescope collect?
visible light
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
Is radiation measured with the hubble telescope?
No, the purpose of the HST is to take photos in various spectral ranges (near-UV, visible, near-IR).
For what purpose are most telescope designed?
most telescopes are used to collect and focus on different types of electromagnetic radiation from stars. Including visible light
Is pluto visible?
Pluto is not visible without a telescope.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation is visible?
Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible.
What type of telescope detects energy thats outside the visible spectrum?
Radio telescopes are designed to detect sources of electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays or other invisible emissions. They detect electromagnetic radiation from distant galaxies, including stars and planets and other astronomical radio sources. They are usually in the form of large parabolic antennas, sometimes with hundreds linked together in enormous arrays, connected to extremely sensitive radio frequency receivers.
What gathers information from a distance?
A telescope is an instrument that gathers information from a distance by collecting and focusing electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, to observe celestial objects in space.
An instrument that makes small distant objects visible?
telescope or maybe binoculars
Which planet has the most visible rings?
Saturn has three main rings. You need a telescope, but they are visible in a small telescope.
Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?
No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
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.
