X-ray and gamma ray telescopes are used to give us "alternate" views of objects in the universe. It is extremely helpful to see all of the different wavelengths of electromagnetic energies give off by objects to better understand what they are and how to classify them for further study.
x-rays can also cause cancer whilst looking through them
also a Lamborghini can see more into the future than xray and gamma ray telescopes
What else can I help you with?
Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
What are the similarities between light and gamma rays?
Light ray and gamma ray both travel in a straight line.
What are roscoe koontz inventions?
Roscoe Koontz is famous for inventing the pinhole gamma ray camera.
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.
Why is xray the understood leader in the book Holes by Louis Sachar?
Rex's nickname is X-Ray because in Pig Latin, 'Rex' turns into 'X-Ray'.
What kind of telescope uses a scintillating detector?
A scintillating detector is commonly used in gamma-ray telescopes. These telescopes detect high-energy photons by measuring the light produced when gamma rays interact with scintillating materials. The emitted light is then converted into electrical signals for analysis, allowing astronomers to study cosmic gamma-ray sources. Examples of such telescopes include the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Cherenkov Telescope Array.
Why are x-ray telescopes and gamma - ray telescopes in space?
The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.
Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
What are some Types of Space Telescopes?
Gamma, X-ray, Optical, and Radio
What is used to detect gamma rays?
Scintillation detectors, semiconductor detectors, and Geiger-Muller tubes are commonly used to detect gamma rays. These detectors work by measuring the ionizing radiation produced when gamma rays interact with matter.
What has the author Seth Digel written?
Seth Digel has written: 'GLAST' -- subject(s): Gamma ray bursts, Space mission, Gamma ray telescopes, Imaging techniques, Gamma ray observatory
What are some ways scientist study the universe?
they use radio telescopes, infrared, gamma ray, and etc.
Does the process of photoconduction only occur in the visible light spectrum?
No, it is also observed in case of UV, Xray, Gamma ray.
Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
Yes, astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes to study high-energy phenomena in space. These telescopes are typically located at high-altitude sites to reduce interference from Earth's atmosphere and are used to observe sources such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.
Do x ray and gamma ray telescopes have the same design as an optical instrument?
No, x-rays and gamma rays cannot be focused by lenses or conventional telescope mirrors. To make mirrors that will focus x-rays or gamma rays you need very shallow glancing angle mirrors, that are nearly just parabolically tapered tubes. Typically several of these tubes with the same focal point but different diameter are nested inside each other.
What has the author Stefan Vasile written?
Stefan Vasile has written: 'Studies of Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) as readout devices for scintillating fibers for high energy gamma-ray astronomy telescopes' -- subject(s): Charged particles, Gamma rays, Space exploration, Low noise, Satellite-borne instruments, Scintillating fibers, Gamma ray telescopes, Avalanche diodes
Why do you not have groundbased gamma ray and x-ray telescopes?
Because radiation at those wavelengths is absorbed in the atmosphere, and very little of it ever reaches the ground. Operated on the ground, those telescopes would see almost nothing.
